How many rockets need to be fired into Israel before she fights back? At least 500 rockets have been fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip in the past week. Reports say that the rockets are often launched from schools and mosques, making the Israelis look like the bad guy for firing back.
At what point does the international community back Israel and acknowledge that it has a right to defend itself. This type of disruption and harassment must be contained and stopped. No pass for Hamas. In fact, someone needs to go in and give them a solid pounding. Not only is Hamas endangering the lives of the Israelis and the Christians and Jews and Muslims in Jerusalem, but they are endangering the civilians on the Gaza Strip, many of whom are children.
Are there rogue versions of Hamas? Certainly this behavior isn’t sanctioned by the local government Hamas? If yes, then this ought to be a solid reminder to be careful what we wish for. Not too many years ago we all wished for democracy in the middle east. Hamas is duly elected by the people–by the residents of the Gaza Strip. Do you think this is really what they wanted?
Sadly, civilians now have no choice over the current situation at hand. The civilians are going to be the ones blown to kingdom come once the Israeli war machine unleashes on the hooligans who are bombing Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other Israel spots.
Hamas, meanwhile, represents the height of irresponsibility.
