Gaza

I think we are unbelievably compassionate towards the Palestinians =
in Gaza because what we should really do is what America and Britain did =
to the Germans during WWII and that is bomb the entire country into submi=
ssion for having launched a war against us that we didn't ask for and did=
nothing to deserve. England and America killed tens of thousands of Germ=
an citizens and America - hundreds of thousands of Japanese - because the=
y refused to put their arms down, surrender and make peace. Israel has ne=
ver done anything like that at all. Personally I am saddened by only one =
aspect of the Cast Lead operation and that is Israeli soldiers died becau=
se we did not want to end these attacks by just bombing the Gazan cities =
into submission but rather went in with troops - lost precious Jewish liv=
es - in order to limit tremendously the number of civilian casualties. Th=
at was an great act of kindness and compassion on the part of Israel and =
some Israeli parents buried their sons because of that act of kindness an=
d compassion.

As for the Palestinians who lost their lives - I feel very bad for t=
heir families (assuming they weren't actually Hamas) and I say to them. Y=
ou elected Hamas - you stand by and let them attack a neighboring soverei=
gn nation - this is what you have brought upon yourself. And if you didn'=
t vote for Hamas - we are truly sorry for what your fellow Palestinians h=
ave brought upon you.

there are consequences to launching war and I'm sorry that you think the Palestinians should somehow be protected from those consequences. As for me - I'm worried about Israeli soldiers and the fact that Israel's gov't has it's hands tied and can't do the job necessary to end the necessity of soldiers going into Gaza.>
