Hamas, an organization that is recognized as a terrorist organization and whose stated policy is the destruction of Jews, fires rockets intentionally at Israeli civilian populations and fires them from schools and mosques and civilian areas. When Israel retaliates the world seems shocked that civilians have been involved in the casualties. Maybe Israel should meet Hamas halfway, and only let them destroy half of the Israeli population! As a former Prime Minister of Israel, Golda Maier once said, we can forgive you for killing our children, but we cannot forgive you for forcing us to kill your children.
As Gracie just said, that is one of the clearest explanations that I've heard about the current mess involving Israel. WAY too many people are blaming Israel and ignoring the truth. Only those who are ignoring the truth can continue to be critical of Israel and that includes those at the very highest levels within this current demented government of ours.
