I just wonder what you guys think Israel's intention is in conducting the invasion of Gaza. Do you think they are blood-thirsty? Why would they be? Have you been to Israel? Are you aware that Israelis just want to live in peace? Did you know that Hamas has lobbed over 5,000 rockets into small, civilian towns in Israel since last May? Did you know that Hamas, despite its ostensible humanitarian activities within the Palestinian territories, has run these territories into the ground? Israel is not only defending itself from countless arbitrary rocket attacks but helping the Palestinian people by destroying Hamas. If your concern is truly the plight of the Palestinian people, you would recognize that they are better off with different leadership, just as Israeli civilians living near Gaza are better off not having missiles fired daily at their homes. Please reconsider your position on this issue based on the facts.
