You are absolutely correct IMO, the Zionist's are an affront to humanity.
Let me stress Zionist not Jews. Jewish people did not want the creation of the illegal Nazi state of Israel.

How long and how often do you think Israel is to allow these rockets to land on their doorstep and not blow the crap out of them ?

Well...
Maybe if they did not constantly wage war on a country then they would not be in a constant state of war.
Too many times I read, Hamas terrorists launched rockets and mortors into Israel.
Naturally, Israel responds to the terrorist attack on civilians.
Then ignorant people blame Israel for "counter" attacking the terrorists.
Furthermore, the Hamas terrorists ALWAYS target civilians.
Maybe this is why people are not sympathetic towards them, they have created this situation and continue to cause it by continuing to attack.
Hey here is a crazy idea, don't wage war on someone and they won't counter attack you!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know for sure but if the supplies being brought into Gaza are legit food and medicine why do they need to go through some special tunnel?
And you know all this how? You work for the UN or maybe a journalist??
All I know is that the israeli-palestinian conflict has become an infamous legend, sort of a religion in itself, aside from who you think is correct and who is wrong.
Personally I think both sides are at fault to some degree but I put most of the blame on the hamas leadership because they can't come to terms with anything they don't like. Israel has made many concessions both currently and in the past but hamas will never be satisfied until/unless jews are thrown into the mediterrean sea. Very sad indeed!
Unlike hamas, fatah especially under yaser arafat(spelling correct?) realised he and the palestinians had to meet israel half-the-way after bombing/hijacking planes, ships and israeli civilians to force the issue. IMHO he was a smart man and died as hero both for the palestinian cause and for the peace process. Unlike the fatah party hamas wants everything their way and only their way. They fooled the gazans by charity work and great promises and now they are reaping the desruction they sewn. They had it coming and they got it.
Do I approve of Israeli's hardline stance? Yes and no, I think they could have shown greater restrain by not killing so many innocent civilians especially last year when they killed almost 3,000 gazans to only a dozen or so israelis. They will never win the propagana war this way and manage to only antagonise everyone...even people not involved in the conflict.
No I am not either of those. But I do know how the UN works and that foreign policy over the years has changed to a means to control it's own people. I also listen to journalist on all sides and come to my own conclusions. That's what news is for BTW.
Yeah perhaps people who are not involved should stay out of it and mind their own business like the whole world did just before WW II.
It does not matter who is at fault. What should matter is that you have innocent Jews and Palestinians forced into a war that can not be won with out the extermination of the other, a holy war.
It's a win win scenario for the Israeli government who wants all that land and also for Hamas who wants to fight Israel out of hatred.
Oh and by the way.....this whole pushing Israel into the sea Bull crap is ridiculous. How can a bunch of totally occupied, flipflop wearing, hungry people armed with rocks bush the wolds 4'th most powerful military entity into the ocean? You sound foolish.
The people controlling Israel want the holy land, and the Palestinians what their dignity. You and I have no Idea what it is like to have your dignity taken way and left impotent to give your children any kind of protection or a decent life. Jews on the other hand do, many alive today know damn well what it is like to be robbed of everything you have and be reduced to live worse than a dog. They know what wrong is and yet they do it. That, is whats sad.
I think Israel should have it's holy land, they are eventually going to take it anyway but they could very easily give the palestinians the same respect and support the world gave the Jews when they were given Israel. A little scrap of nowhere to call their own and raise their own independent flag. A little compensation in form of a tax (like the one the People of Germany still pay today to the Jews) for the Palestinians would not hurt either.
