A port and an airfield are reasonable demands only if Hamas is willing to allow Gaza to become a demilitarized zone. Also you fail to include Hamas's demand of freeing all Hamas terrorists in Israeli prisons which is definitely an unreasonable demand.

Israel resumed its murder of innocents today with the killing of a 10 year old child. We bomb in Iraq to protect civilians yet turn away while the Jews murder children in the same area.

There is nothing "blind" about it. Maybe you need to study the history of that region some more.

To kill the Nazi leadership and troops many civilians died. America had to destroy their enemy's will to fight. Israel needs to do the same. Keep fighting until they (Hamas) says Uncle.

Didn't we learn our lesson from Korea and Vietnam that you have to fight a war to win? If Israel is being attacked, let them fight the war until the other side says uncle and they lose their will to keep fighting and lay down their arms. That is how wars ended throughout history.

Agree or disagree?

The problem Israel faces is its policies make it an outcast in the very neighborhood that it has to live. Israel is behaving like the very people who wanted to destroy the Jewish people forever and will be hated just as much the future. There will be a desire in millions of people to see Israelis suffer the bombing and loss that they seem to be subjecting Palestinians to today.

And how many times has the US accidentally killed a 10 year old?

How many times have Islamic extremists intentionally killed a 10 year old?

While you dig deep to somehow justify inhumane and deplorable actions, the rest of us with a moral backbone will continue to condemn Israel for the murder of innocent children and civilians living in the largest open air prison in the World.

Israel is bombing a goldfish bowl-it is nothing short of evil and cowardly. Thousands and thousands of homes have been razed.

Israel is no ally of this nation-we should distance ourselves as far as possible from their Government. Many Israeli's are against the terrorism their Government is creating however.

Hamas is not "Islamic extremists" no matter what you have been told by the international Zionist misinformation campaign.

I hope so. This is what happens when conservatives (from both sides) run wild.

Hamas has been on the State Dept's foreign terrorist list since 1997:
Foreign Terrorist Organizations
