In August 2005, Israel left Gaza. Every soldier was withdrawn. Every Jewish settlement was evacuated, in a process requiring 45,000 police and costing $2.5 billion. Israel's courageous step towards peace was hope for Gaza to provide a Palestinian state .
Tragically, the democratically elected Hamas chose violence, rejecting the chance to develop Gazan society and opting instead to attack Israel. Missiles from Gaza have blighted the lives of Israeli civilians since 2001. The withdrawal should have brought calm, but 5,000 missiles and mortars have since rained down on Israel holding progress to ransom, choosing war over peace, destruction over development...

The tragic events happening at Gaza right now, are crimes of war which ought to be stopped immediately. The ruthless massacres taking place executed by the Israeli military machine are aimed at unarmed people. Hundreds of innocent people fell dead as mortars and many injured in the first few hours of the massacre. Peace!
Comment by Anonymous:"The ruthless massacres taking place executed by the Israeli military"...what a crock!
Those inhabiting the Gaza Strip have squandered their chance of peace in attacking their benefactors, and thus confirm their uselessness and insincerity.
Does anyone believe that if we in the USA were shelled from Mexico or Canada, or even Iran, we would ignore it?
A very idiotic comment at best!
Hamas likes to emplace its munitions in the midst of the populace to assure civilian casualties from which to heap criticism upon the JOOS!
...CURT kINGSBURY
The human nature can only be shocked at the terrifying and murdering of an entire nation taking place. With all the horrifying details appearing as events unfold. It is noticed that the air raids take place at the time when children are leaving their schools maximising terror and death amongst children. Religious worship places were bombed with worshipers inside. This makes this military operation a barbaric and savagery assault.
anon,
Your one dimensional view is ridiculous, Israel has suffered 5,000plus missile attacks from Gaza for nearly a decade, missiles that are lobbed over the border to cause intentional civilian casualties. Israel uses precision weapons to hit specific targets in Gaza, but the cowardly terrorists hide behind women and children forcing civilian casualties to dupe people just like you...
democratically elected Hamas
Thus, Hamas does indeed represent a nation state.
Israel vs. Hamas is nation state against nation state. And that is a legitimate war.
May Israel prevail in the Gaza War!
