In my opinion, Israel should pull back, but Hamas PURPOSELY kills Palestinian women and children. They are cowards.
Hamas PURPOSELY kills civilians, and Israel does not?

How blind you must be. I'm sure the images of terrorist attacks against Israeli's are seared in your brain, but your mainstream media doesnt report on Israeli aggression, Israeli snipers, Israeli jails holding thousands of Palestinians, or the Israeli airstrikes that kill hundreds of civilians, more in one week than suicide bombers could kill in a couple years.

The truth is out there, but its not going to be found in the mainstream media. The only time the MSM reports on Israel is when its been hit with a suicide attack. As far as their actions, nothing.

No I would not supprt any such move. Israel can take care of its business alone. But if things go bad for them, they just go bad.

Not to mention one of his axis power allies did attack Pearl Harbor.
I agree with Kev. If things go bad Israel should stand alone. Its their battle not ours.

Palestinian civilians are continuing to suffer as the Israeli military pushes deeper into the Gaza Strip.

At least 548 people have been killed in the territory in the last 10 days, with at least 100 deaths reported since the Israeli ground offensive began on Saturday.

Among the dead on Monday was a family of seven from Shati refugee camp, who were killed by Israeli navy shelling.
Three siblings from one family, as well as a girl and her grandfather, also died in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza during artillery shelling.

Default Should Israel adhere to requests for a ceasefire? I doubt it....

I think Israel made a terrible mistake by going into war in the first place! I know they had to respond to the rocket attacks but even so they should have consulted with the Arab Leaders in the region and showed the Palastian people that they at least made a conserted effort not to go to war over rockets. Now it seems as though all Israel needed was an excuse to pulverize Hamas and Hamas gave it to them. My heart goes out to the civilian casualties in Gaza as well as the Israeli people.

Israel's dilemma is do they stop or do they finish off Hamas. Hamas is not the only Muslim leadership assessing Israel's military might they will have to empress every Muslim state in the world, even the suicide bombers! Their achilles hill is going to be the suicide bombers, the rockets will seem like fire crackers. How does one contain people who don't have to be Palastinian to seek revenge on the Israeli people? I'm talking about people who are willing to give their lives for a good enough reason. The Israelis may have to take this war to the end or prove to the Muslim world that their intentions were good.

Does anybody see this differently?
