Can you please provide your opinion as to how the Israeli government can possibly respond to Hamas in a diplomatic manner?edit on 19-11-2012 by Humanity4Ever because: (no reason given)

So I'll ask you nicely, can you please provide your opinion as to the manner in which the Israeli government should respond to incessant missiles attacks from an elected terrorist regime that deliberately sacrifices their own civilains to promote their agenda?

The first step would be lifting the blockade so the necessities of life can make their way to Gaza, then both sides would be able to start talking. Palestine has taken the road of diplomacy by trying to become a member state with the UN while Israel considers this hurtful to the peace process and responds with more illegal settlements. Israel is just as guilty when it comes to blocking diplomacy. I know this kind of got off topic but I tried to answer your question.
It is a touchy situation where both sides are wrong at the end of the day, but Israel is just as guilty with their responses. Both sides have a habit of preemptive strikes. So if Hamas is expected to stop throwing rockets, Israel should be prepared to stop the bombing campaign and also reconsider the planned ground invasion.
I don't claim to have all the answers but both sides must compromise.

There are extremists on both sides of this conflict. There are just as many Israeli whack jobs as there are Muslim. This is just the way it is.
The big problem here is that people are trying to make Israel out to be the poor little victim in this conflict. And people with open eyes just know this isn't the case.
You don't lock up a tiger in a cage, poke it with sticks and then get pissed off when it scratches you back.

Give the land back that's been stolen, and keep the original UN boundaries agreed upon.

How do you figure?
The Israeli population is much much smaller than 1 Billion+ Muslims

These two sentences contradict each other.

It's actually good to see this, because all the Israeli propagandists would have the world believe that they are all nice and innocent people and Hamas are the crazy Jihadists. These freaks are no better than the people they claim to be defending themselves against. These freaks are no better than the people they claim to be defending themselves against.
This is the kind of extremism in the heart if the Israeli government, and this is what the majority of idiot Israeli's are supporting either through the defence of their governments actions or their silence on this issue.

Way to backpedal, Humanity. Your first post against the OP was nasty, insulting, and rather rabid in its approach. We don't have Alzheimer's on here, and you went from way ugly to pretending to be nice and civil.
Alrighty then. If you don't like the subject d'jour, which is the current massacre going on in Gaza, perhaps you should stick to issues less bothersome.
The title of this thread had the word "EXTREMISTS" in it, that should tell you everything. As in any population, extremists are always in the minority. However, those squeaky wheels sure get more than their share of the grease.
People who cheer when others are slaughtered are corrupt in spirit. I cannot see a good outcome from this. As for me personally, I find Israel's behavior, since its modern inception in 1947, to be repugnant and disgusting. However, there are a lot of countries in the world today that behave horribly towards people who cannot fight back. What irritates me so much about Israel has to do with the way they have become a fifth column within the United States, and how much money they squeeze out of us due to the tireless efforts of AIPAC in our halls of government.
Israel gets 1/5 of our foreign aid budget every year (more if you count grants and low-to-no-cost loans), which is a lot of grease for such a squeaky little wheel.
We need to cut them off from Uncle Sugar, and let them create their own hell. As long as my tax dollars are going towards this atrocity, I will voice my opinion. I say the same thing in all my posts concerning Israel. Do I have an agenda? YES. Our money is going for pure evil, by a minority of extremists who are noisy as hell, and I'm told that I'm supposed to like it and accept it. I don't like it, I don't accept it, and as long as I can, I'm going to speak out against it.

How do I figure? Come on. Look, let's not play stupid okay? Let's not go tit-for-tat. I can post hundreds of videos of Israeli's behaving like such savages it would make you sick. Just as I'm sure you could post videos to counter. But the truth is, Israel and the Mossad have carried out terrorist attacks just as brutal as ANY "Muslim" attacks. They have carried out so many assassinations in and around Gaza. And yet they are consistently played as the victim.
There are extremists on both sides of this conflict. There are just as many Israeli whack jobs as there are Muslim.
Why are they always the "victim"? Because its a convenient cover for them. Bomb a school and kill children? Say "Hamas put weapons in there... its their fault!!!". Etc etc etc. The problem for them is, in today's information age, that tactic is not working anymore.
They are being systematically exterminated.
The people of Israel are good people. The Palestinians are good people.
As for your description of Israel's actions since 1947, it might seem repugnant to you, but the country has been forced to act accordingly time and time again against ruthless aggression from enemies that seek it's destruction.
