I am not saying that I agree with what Israel is doing but warfare is tragic but but you seem to sympathize with Hamas. Why do you see it as Israel's responsibility when Hamas could end this by surrendering, my guess is that you don't want this to happen because you believe Hamas is justified, and they are not. They have put their people in peril by doing what they did. All of your other arguments are subterfuge, sophistry. The only people that can make peace are the Palestinians. They voted in Hamas who has done nothing for them but bring misery and people like you have lost the plot. Just like in Northern Ireland peace has to come from the people on the ground or it perpetuates itself for infinity. Read the book Son of Hamas and deprogram yourself.
