  Whoops, Zumalicious, you missed

  First of all, I'm an American of Irish descent, so your pronouns are a little off.

  You just don't get it, and apparently never will. Now, Israel has used up its 9 lives of oppression, blockading, harassing, and lying about it.

  Did the Gazans use up any of their lives shelling and bombing Israel, or is there just one side to the whole thing, and Israel is the great Satan? Maybe I do need to catch up.

  Bottom line. Killing innocent civilians is not an option.

  Based on the rockets coming out of Gaza, going straight for Sderot, it seems to be an option Hamas is willing to consider.

  Oppression, harassment, blockading, extorting land from farmers, and preventing normal commerce does NOT constitute a "cease fire". The fact that you could have prevented Hamas from gaining a foothold in the first place, and that you didn't use the insane levels of money that you take from us to prevent Hamas rise in power, is telling on you.

  Every nation reserves the right to control its borders, and even to build a fence along them if they so choose. Doesn't Gaza share a border with Egypt? I'm confused as to why the Egyptians are blockading and starving the Palestinians.

  You are losing support every day, and you still don't get it. This stubborn, arrogant, violent, dishonest and infuriating behavior comes with a cost.

  You know what else has an associated cost? Sitting back and letting the rockets hit.
