  @Malkatraz

  By retaliating to Hamas rocket launches, the IDF plays into their hands by strengthening their position as "brave defenders of the Palestinian people" ... the violence and destruction unleashed on Gaza ... does nothing but perpetuate the cycle of violence

  All governments have a responsibility to protect their citizens. How long should the Israeli government wait to respond? A day? A week? A month? And what would you do if the Hamas don't get bored of that shit?

  Israel must make concrete moves that will sideline Hamas ... by ceasing construction on occupied land in the West Bank, and by beginning the evacuation and removal of illegal settlements

  Malkatraz, it's hard not to lose patience with you. Israel has gone through several traumatic waves of removal of settlements, including all settlements, with tens of thousands of settlers, in Gaza. Did you forget???

  You reply by saying that all Palestinians are fundamentalist muslims

  No, you've falsified my words, and they weren't that complicated. I wrote:

  "...you need to acknowledge that a fundamentalist Moslem Palestinian doesnt' think like you. If you don't, you can't say you really respect their culture. Israel WITHDREW COMPLETELY from Gaza. Their reaction was the Israelis are weak, so we can abuse them. And they have been doing just that for years."
