Like I said, it's almost like it's *gasp* propaganda!
Just what is a measured response to terror? What should a country do when an adjacent territory subjects it to repeated rocket attacks which are clearly intended to terroize its citizens? What would the US or any other country do if any adjacent country repeatedly attacked it? What would the US or any other country do when all attempts at diplomacy failed...when truces and cease fires were repeatedly broken? How do you stop someone from terrorizing you?
And this:
As for civilian deaths in Gaza, they are horrible. But the real culprit is Hamas. Do you believe the firing of missiles by Hamas at Israeli citizens is justified? Are you just as outraged by those actions? Whether or not you are, what do you believe Israel could do legitimately to counter the attacks? Are you really so naive as to believe that if Hamas won't respond to force, it will respond to negotiations with the very country it has sworn to destroy?
Me, as a CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES, and NOT a CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF ISRAEL, my answer to such pressing questions?
Who cares? It doesn't affect the security of the United States or its national interests AT ALL. Stop all aid to all countries, and fix out sinking economy. The US is on the verge of becoming a failed state and all the Troll Army can think about is the justifying Israeli war crimes. No thought about how it affects the security of the US and its citizens because they don't care. Such contempt for the citizens of the United States, we are merely there to go along and fund Israel's adventures, consequences be damned!
Unless of course selling weapons and handing out welfare checks are considered "The National Interests".
