Hello! People .... If Israel wanted 'genocide' it would use it's NUKES.
7/21/2008 - DUKE FIELD, Fla. (AFPN) -- Duke Field Airmen from the 711th Special Operations Squadron dropped the last operational Bomb Live Unit-82 from an MC-130E Combat Talon I July 15 at the Utah Test and Training Range.
Wing officials said they believe there are no plans, at this time, to produce BLU-82s in the future. The only remaining inactive bombs are used for loadmaster training and for static displays in museums.

Verbal abuse Come on, but I can see why you may have been offended. You want to know what genocide is, do some research. Specifically Germany 1939-1945.
I guess voting in a militant organization to rule makes the majority of the citizens complicit with the violent actions then. If someone is setting up a rocket launcher outside of my house it won't be there long if I don't want it there.
Israel is not quite as restrained as the USA when it comes to hitting mosques etc. At least they will hit the target no matter where it is at. After destroying security HQ's Hamas has looked to the mosques, etc to hide and meet. That makes them a legitimate target.

You mean the war that Hamas started by it's daily attacks of rockets and mortars, you forgot to mention that fact.
It is simple for anyone open minded.
Either it is ok for both sides to wage war.......
OR
It is not ok for "EITHER side to wage war.
You can't have it both ways.
You either you want war, in which case, don't whine about the results............
OR
Yopu want peace in which case "BOTH" sides must not wage war.
Nothing, not one rocket, not one mortar, not one sucide bomber to target civillians-NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enter a world where Hamas said "Yes Israel you have a right to exsist" and that all their rocket attacks etc. ground to a complete halt and it became clear they wanted peace and all the people in Palestine said "Peace rocks!"
Would Israel be attacking then? Nope.
That little corner of the world would look -very- different.
