You poor misinformed person . Israel was set up by the UN and had a very small state to exist it . On the day of celebration of that event they were bombed and the war started . Israel beat the Arabs back and took and held the land from which they were attacked from . This gave them some space to defend themselves . Israel made their own munitions against the UN's wishes and were able to buy 2 canons . Then they has intelligence that they were about to be attacked in 73 and knocked out Egypt's air force the morning of the attack and almost was defeated but fought off the Arabs again . Israel has given land back and every time they get bombarded from it . Now they have given land in the West Bank and in Gaza guess where the Rockets are coming from .The wall is because Hamas who has said they would destroy Israel is in power . Then there is Hezbollah and Syria .
I'll bet you would not show the restraint Israel has showed . You probably don't like some of your neighbors . What if they always wanted to attack you and if you are old enough attack your family ?
People here suffer from memory loss. Or a serious brain disorder that prevents them from recalling past events that led to certain responses.
Gaza keeps shooting rockets into Israels southern towns and cities, injuring many and damaging infrastructure.
What are they supposed to do!!!!???? Just twiddle their thumbs and make cotton candy??
What would you do??

wtf are you talking about?
The fact that this type of stupidity can even be uttered without realizing how obscenely idiotic it is, dumbfounds me.
They're leaving them no options but to enter the strip; it isn't "genocide' - so have some respect not to just throw that word around about anyone, the Jews especially. Their going in to deal with the perpetrators, not to mindlessly kill civilians.
But if civilians do die, you can bet your fcuking a-ss that it would be because Hamas terrorists shoot from crowded areas, forcing IDF soldiers to shoot back in self defense,.
Israel is going about it smartly now. Last time, in '08, IDF troops complained about these amoral tactics. This time, each regiment has IDF camera men to SHOW how these miscreants fight.
What can you expect from a region which teaches their children in TV shows to adore suicide bombers.
“A genocide is taking place in Gaza….An average of eight Palestinians die daily in the Israeli attacks on the Strip. Most of them are children. Hundreds are maimed, wounded and paralyzed. (It’s become) a daily business, now reported (only) in the internal pages of the local press, quite often in microscopic fonts. The chief culprits are the Israeli pilots who have a field day,” like shooting fish in a barrel. Why not, they’re only Muslims, so who’ll notice or care.

The Arab nations kill many more of their own people that Israel does in this infrequent wars . The Shiite and Sunni tribes are always killing each other . The Saudi's are afraid of the Irainians and Iraqis as well .Look at all the troubles within Islam . And the offending nature for the killing is religious differences . Israel has the right to defend it's self .
The numbers also do not include the sizable number of Palestinians who died as a result of inability to reach medical care due to Israeli road closures, curfews, the Israeli closure of border crossing from Gaza, etc.

Israel bought most of the land you talk about stealing . Check your facts . Arabs sold it to them . Also there were always Jews in Israel they were not all driven out or came back shortly after . When has it become a crime to buy land .
