You are the person that seemed to think Hamas (terrorists) are the same as the IDF. They are completely different. You shrug off every post almost like you did not read them.
I condemn those that post the lies and nonsense. If you are not, I respond.

You have yet to show a reasonable (or any) alternative for Israel. Should they sit back and not fire? Despite the fact the people 'voted' in Hamas (although clearly it was done under duress), and Hamas has declared war on Israel, and Hamas fires from the most populated areas possible, I guess I should ignore all of that. After how many rocket attacks did you post a condemnation of Hamas? Wait, you didn't? You are here though to condemn Israel. You should be posting way to get rid of Hamas, if protecting lives is what you care about.

Israel has a right to defend itself, you can't make up rules that are not true. This is not a difficult concept to understand, yet you cannot seem to. Israel is responding to hundreds of rockets that have been fired for months - with no Israeli retaliation. They have had enough.

Hamas has been using them as shields and Israel does what it can to mitigate that issue. Yes, certain predicaments require action. What do you think would happen if North Korea launched rockets at South Korea? The same thing, a response. They won't just sit and let it happen. Yet Israel has for months.
