If a snake is going to bite you, do you cut off its tail or its head? Now don't say that the Palestinians are a peace loving people. They are not. They never have been, even towards their own kind. Not in 1300 years. Every Muslim man, woman & child in the Gaza area is trying in every way to kill or maim anyone who is Jewish. It's part of their normal culture. This includes women & children. We have all seen the videos of the kindergarten groups learning to kill Jews.
We can all put our heads in the sand & pretend they don't exist, but they do. This is not happening in Israeli kindergartens. Israel is not sending rockets & mortars into Gaza just to indiscriminately kill anyone they can hit as does Hamas send rockets & mortars into Israel.
I think Israel is very restrained in its actions in dealing with Hamas, considering the number of rocket & mortar attacks it puts up with before it retaliates.
Myself I would start with a line of bulldozers at one end, blades down & go for it. Then I would gas the earth between Egypt & Gaza so they could never build another tunnel.
Just how do they get so many rockets into Gaza to fire at Israel anyway? Are they coming in those Aid Ships that are “only bringing in Aid”? Why would they need them If they are not going to use them against Israel? Why cry foul if they do use them & the Israelis retaliate?
