Wow, that sucks. Would have been a good time for Palestinians to call attention to their plight. Instead, it seems, they let Hamas fester and grow emboldened in their attacks, until they're invading, shooting and burning babies. You know, what you don't want to talk about but that you want to defend. Brutalizing babies. Demanding Israel continue to live that way is not an option. Israel declared war on Hamas, not on Palestinians. If your enemy makes soldiers of their children, you destroy their soldiers. Something you don't want to acknowledge, but the same choice we'd all make to survive. Israel cannot survive next to an enemy that unequivocally demands its destruction. You have no better solution, nor do you seem to care. The strong will do what they can, and the weak will suffer what they must. I'm sorry, but it's war.
