The pictures from Gaza of dead children, their little hands on their chests, their eyes closed, are absolutely unbearable. I can't imagine what it must be like to have your precious baby's taken in such a manner, can you? I can however, understand the anger that some feel towards Israel right now. Certainly Israel was provoked, but what they are doing is like using a sledgehammer to kill a gnat. In the time that Hamas has been lobing rockets into Israel, three Israelis have died, three. Apparently Hamas is using the population of Gaza as a shield, taking shelter in mosques and under hospitals. And in my book that makes them terrorists, and they deserve to be rounded up and executed. But Israel is simply playing into their hands. Not only is the invasion a PR disaster, but it probably won't get rid of Hamas anyway.
We all know that Israel has a siege mentality, and has vowed to be vigilant against another Holocaust. But when they kill innocent civilians on such a scale, for no really good reason, than they are terrorists themselves. And when we here in America sit by and let them, then we are also guilty of crimes against humanity.
