It surprises me every time I either read an article or watch a news video telling me of these people who suffer because their own neighbors are launching rockets into Israel. Some two thousand this year alone, according to this article. Why don't they just simply ask them to stop because their own people are suffering, instead of blaming Israel, the place where these rockets keep landing.
Surely these people in Gaza City know who is responsible for launching the rockets. If it were here in the U.S. and Arizona was launching rockets into Mexico, and Mexico was firing back at us in California. Do you think for a minute that California would blame Mexico? No way, we would be on our way to Arizona, and I promise you they would stop firing rockets very quickly, or else!
I don't remember ever reading or hearing that Israel was the one who started firing on the Gaza first. In fact, Israel has always been a nation who just wants to exist. Just like every other nation on this planet. What is so bad about that? Why can't they have their very insignificantly small piece of land? Well, when you look at the size of the land that the Moslems possess.
The solution is so simple, just stop! I'll bet if you did, Israel would follow suet and lift the sanctions on Gaza quite soon. Especially on the essential humanitarian needs of these people suffering in the Gaza. Knowing from my own past experience with the way the Jewish people come to the aid of those suffering, would be the first to help. At the Oklahoma bombing years ago if the Jewish organizations weren't the first there to help financially or other wise they were running a close second.
I say put Israel to the test, and stop firing rockets and see what Israel does.
