well didn't I just say "there are no reasons under the sun can justify killing innocent civilians?"

Maybe you can offer a solution for both parties, a solution will be more productive.

Liberals hate Israel. Jews love Democrats. A match made in dysfunctional heaven.

Maybe because younger generations are getting wise to the poison that religion can be?
Both sides are wrong. Both have perverted whatever whatever 'morality' they claimed for the fighting that has gone on for thousands of years.

If you don't want to bombed, don't instigate a war especially when you know the enemy is superior.
How interesting! Maybe it is almost as much as Israel gets from the U.S. to blow up Palestinian children:

The Missile Defense Agency’s FY2015 request for joint U.S.-

Fighting back would be destroying the tunnels on the Israeli side, and fighting the military of Hamas with their military, not killing over a thousand innocent people, and injuring about 6,000 more. Destroying the homes of civilians. How is that fighting back? It's not a defense. It's an military offensive assault on the Palestinians of Gaza.

You justify Israel's right to fight back, but not the rights of the Palestinians to fight back from the slaughter of their people.
putting words in people's mouth is getting pretty old. Palestinians can and should certainly fight back.

if the situation was reversed, Hamas would kill every single person in Israel. The reason why that is not happening is because they can't. Let's not pretend this is not the case.

They hate each other, and this is sad.

Aah, I see it's a bias that mistrusts that a pew poll undertaken in an area run by terrorists and calling for peace against the terrorist manifesto dictates is accurate to any degree whatsoever. The proof is in the pudding of having Hamas being placed in charge, or are you suggesting (like Pelosi) it's a humanitarian org?

Now, why are all your posts based on overt hypocrisy?

What you stated was that war is unfair, that seems to be license for killing innocent women and children in what are some very large numbers.

The chance for solutions was after the last war, every administration has made attempts. Israel is in a position of power backed by the full force of the US, the Palestinians are at their mercy. Terrorist groups like Hamas don't just appear on the horizon, they arrive because some have no other choice.
