Israel, it's about time!

[Jobolob]

First of all, I would bring peace to my country. That is not achieved by creating more war and denying a democratically elected government. Hamas have killed far far far far far less civilians throughout all their years than Israel did in just these 2 weeks.
You can't blame them for being pissed.
If Israel and USA would have talked to Hamas 2 years ago when Hamas offered to recognize Israel and have peace, Israel would have had peace now.
That's a fact.

Its not about what you would do, its about what YOUR COUNTRY would do. Lets not make this a theoretical question as if you were in a beauty pageant hoping for world peace. Stick to the topic and what your country would really do, they would not sit idley by and let this happen.

Lets get one thing clear, I do not agree with any of this, the injuring and killing of innocent civilians I do not condone and it pains to see that these people are being subjected to this kind of treatment but the fact is Israel had to do something otherwise Hamas would have just keep firing rockets.

Here is a snippet of an Australian website about this issue.

"Since the Israeli onslaught began on December 27, at least 890 people have been killed, including 275 children, and another 3,800 wounded, according to Dr Muawiya Hassanein, the head of Gaza emergency services.

Ten Israeli soldiers and three civilians have been killed in combat or in rocket attacks since the operation began. Palestinian militants have fired more than 600 rockets, some of them penetrating deeper than ever inside Israel.

The conflict has sparked worldwide pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and US president elect Barack Obama said he is assembling a team of diplomats to start addressing the Middle East conflict once he is sworn in on January 20.

Venezuela, which expelled Israel's ambassador over the war, said on Sunday it had sent a cargo plane to Egypt bearing 12.5 tonnes of medical supplies and other materials for Gaza's population."

Now as we can see that Gaza has had a huge casualties compared to Israel but the fact is Hamas are still firing rockets, if they had stopped maybe Israel would have been lighter.

Israel are intent on stopping Hamas from firing rockets into their nation.
Whether that means destroying and disbanding Hamas all together or completely crippling them so they cannot is yet to be seen.

The other thing to remember is that once all of this is over, if Hamas is still around, they will hit back, it will only be a matter of time and all this will start again. A permanent solution needs to be made between the two countries and between the UN (god help us if they get something right). Once a solution has been made they should BOTH be held accountable for their own actions and IF either broke a agreement signed by both parties and the UN, then action should be taken to rectify the problem with the UN's help.
