WOW! that's one of the dumbest statements ever made, by either side!!
I think its time that the world recognizes that both sides have no interest in lasting peace. Many peace proposals have been offered from different sources/countries, and neither side has shown any signs of wanting to implement them. at this point, what's the point of supporting either side?

Because they both want the same thing and neither is giving it up. Neither will agree to peace until the other agrees to it's demands
When Israel launches an offensive it's big news because they do so behind the power of one of the most sophisticated military's in the world
Like others have said there have been double digit rocket launches in to Israel the last year, and none of it made as big a story in the media as this Israel attack has
If the Israeli military dissolved the country would cease to exist within a week, I don't know how that can be denied
If they stopped being attack, I don't believe they would be an aggressor
That being said, it's not going to happen in the near future. Neither will give up their goal
