With all of the rhetoric out there, the one and only fact remains. Lets say that the country you live close to is controlled by the Hamas. You found yourself very close if not in the line of fire where these rockets were landing and exploding. Would you continue to cheer for those poor little people who continue to launch the rockets? Or would you be crying out to your government to do something about it?
In the land of Israel every person pretty much has immediate family or close friends who have been killed or wounded by rockets, suicide bombers, or snipers. Along there highway they have had to build these high concrete walls just to keep the snipers from shooting at people driving in their cars. How would you like to live in this state of existence?
The title of this article to me, seems weird. I have difficulty believing that Israel would mull anything over when it comes to the safety of their country. I hope they continue to bombard the Hamas until they are confident that the rockets cease completely. If they start up again? Well, start up the warplanes and put a stop to it. The punishment must fit the crime for the criminal to realize their cost.
I say the long suffering and patients of Israel should be commended and the world should universally condemn the Hamas for being the evil that they are. Come on, the desire for peace and the willingness to negotiate for that peace is the sign of innocence and honesty. To continue to launch rockets while your leaders are negotiating? Innocence, or honesty? No, just plain old evil!
