Israel was taking a beating by rockets fired from Gaza - land that was unilaterally given up by Israel to the Palestinians. The land was supposed to be a launching pad for the nascent Palestinian state. Instead they used it as a launching pad to bomb civilian communities in neighboring Israel. This continued for EIGHT years without the world community saying a thing!
Imagine what would have happend had they actually built their state and show the world they intended to live as a peaceful member of the world community.
Israel was perfectly justified in retaliating for those attacks. None of us would have put up with our own governments' inaction for so long.
We need to start holding the Palestinians up to a higher standard if they want to join the world community. They can't get a free pass every time and then blame everything on Israel. Grow up and take some responsibility for yourselves!!
