So the family of the friends you lost, just carried on? They just said it's our fault, so we're okay with it? I have a very hard time believing it.
I agree that the conflict has to stop, but it takes both sides.The only reason that the right wing government is elected in Israel is because people are scared. They hope that the right wing government would actually defend the citizens, so it's a requirement to do something. Anyways, I don't see it as a solution as I don't see it working with the cultures in the middle east. Anything that is interpreted as weakness is simply used against you in that climate. A decision not to retaliate would just let the Hamas propaganda shout about how mighty it is and how Israel is afraid to do anything about it.
