If you were Israel, would you stop?

You have been waiting and waiting for years to get the upper hand. You had a recent “misadventure” into Lebanon. Now you have taken Hamas by surprise. They are wildly firing rockets and really hitting no one. You may have them on the run. Would you stop?

From WaPo:

A top Hamas leader and several members of his family were killed Thursday in an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip, as Israel pressed its offensive for a sixth day and a Hamas rocket destroyed part of an apartment building in the Israeli port city of Ashdod.

Nizar Rayyan, a cleric who served as a liaison between Hamas’s political and military wings, had called for renewed suicide bombings inside Israel and refused to go into hiding, as other prominent Hamas members had done. His death, confirmed in a statement issued by Hamas, marked the first known killing of a senior leader of the militant group since Israel began air strikes on Saturday. Two of Rayyan’s four wives and four of his 12 children were also killed after Israeli forces bombed their apartment building, Palestinian health officials said. (more… )

    If I were Israel, I wouldn’t have been committing ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians for decades in the first place.

    The Israeli treatment of Gaza is exactly the treatment the Nazis gave to the Warsaw Ghetto.Starvation,shootings,lack of electricity,medicines,clothing,”They are NOT a nation” “they are subhuman”Israel has become hysterical in its lack of humanity!

    Any parent losing their kin, any sons losing their father, any father seeing his toddler die in his arms will have only one reason to live. To hurt. They were not Hamas, they were not terrorists. If Israel thinks them as collateral damage and STUPID Bush acknowledges such a massacre – world will not be a peaceful place. War can never bring peace.

    Bush, Dick and the cronies beleive that they have brought peace to Iraq. That is a stupid thought. How will the 600 thousand lives killed by these ass holes going to get closure? Every died soul have / had fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters who saw their loved ones die before their eyes. Who will heal the wounds?
