Israel, it's about time!

I disagree. They might have legitimately elected Hamas.

How can you be sure that none of them elected Hamas because of fear?

But that's beside the point. It doesn't give anyone the right to kill civilians.

At least we agree on that.

Could you point out which posts you are talking about?

This one:

What I'm saying is that the target in that case would be filled with civilians. If you have the ability to lessen civilian losses by going in manually, you should do so, instead of bombing them and killing/injuring thousands. As I understand it, Israel has launched a ground attack on Saturday. There was no need to kill so many people with bombs when you could go in and neutralise the artillery sites. And while you're at it, you could engage Hamas face to face, just like you wanted, albeit with tanks on your side which would tarnish the glory slightly.

You make a ground assault sound like a walk in the park. That's poor threat assessment.

She still went to work. Didn't skip a day. She's a tough woman. And we did do something. We found the guys who did it. They were put on trial. They killed quite a few people. But we didn't feel the need to throw a couple of grenades into the house they and their family were hiding in. That's cause we knew we were better than that.

EDIT: The attacks went on for about a year, 18 months or so.

If I had my workplace bombed with grenades every day for a year I would go to my government and demand they protect me. Your mother is brave, and I admire that, but I doubt she liked the situation.

If the price of getting the guys who did it was the lives of a dozen of your friends would you be willing to pay it?

Edit:
Out of curiosity, where does your mother work (or worked) when they threw grenades at her workplace everyday?
