Ok, for all those bleeding heart liberals that hold peace rallies for Palestinians.Israel has the right to protect itself. Remember, the Palestinians elected a party (Hamas) that is a terrorist organization. I could understand the idealistic view of peaceful Palestinians before 9-11 or the election of Hamas brought the reality of the world. The fact is, the Palestinian government does nothing to stop terrorism. The have no control over, and do not care to have control over, the firing of missles into Israel from the Gaza Strip. Due to these circumstances, Israel has no choice but to protect itself.
This is a part of the world where every resident is required to serve 2 years in the military. When the safety of your country is a daily concern, you view things differently. They do not have the luxury that we do.
For those Americans that still protect Israel's reaction, imagine if Canada fired missles into the US. What would be our reaction? We would turn them into Canadian bacon. It's easy to say that they should be diplomatic and come to an agreement. The truth is, you cannot broker a peace deal with a group that celebrates and honors the fringe of it's party that basis it's ideology on the idea that Israel should be pushed into the sea. If Canada embraced its population that wanted to push the US into the ocean, we would not hold peace rallies for the Canadians, we would do more than Israel's response.Until Hamas can control it's land, significantly stop terrorism and create an environment cohesive to diplomatic relations and a potential cease-fire, the Israel need to protect their population.
Here you go. If your neighbor is throwing grenedes into your yard, what do you do? Do these left wing idealists believe that they should walk over and try being diplomatic. No, you'd light their asses up. It's time to wake up and see the reality of the situation.
Currently,
Palestine=Hamas=Terrorism
That's my rant.

What about the size of the response relative to the rockets that did little damage? What's the end game? What's the deal with a 6 month cease fire? Both parties agreed to it and abided by it, and then it expired and they started firing rockets. Why would there be an expiration on a cease fire? That's absurd. That's like saying it is okay to do it after the cease fire expires and that's what happened.
This seems just like the Georgia-Russia skirmish last year. Georgia tried to pull a fast one on Russia but that didn't get much coverage. And Russia responded too heavy handedly and everyone freaked and blamed Russia for its brutality. Now Georgia is not a terrorist friendly country (unless you ask the Russians) but it did attach some Russian positions first.
