Hi dear All I know is that WARS can never be the solution and its not the answer. Supporting and resorting in wars only aggravate the hatred. This shouldn't be coming from civilised people. I am sad and every time I see heinous footage I pray for the END. I am with you Liran in your fight and people are in my prayers. Blessed be.

Thank you mimpi you do understand that after 8 years of the hamas shooting at our homes we had to do somthing in order to protect our people we tried talking for years but the hamas didn't want to hear.. by the way we told the hamas that the minute they stop throwing rockets at our houses we will get out of gaza but they do not want to do that everyone is trying to convince them to stop but they prefer to go on i know dear people from gaza and i know that we all want this to stop but the hamas terrorist group does not listen to us or to the palestinians what can we do? take care dear friend Liran

Hamas wants to replace israel with a Palestinian Islamic state. This is the main idea. they have demends that not us or other country could agree with. i would look for a good article in english and i'll send it to you. (sorry my english is not so good..)

Israel has all the right in the world, to protect itself, just like u all do and have, u only see what's really going on in gaza now, u didn't see what was going on 8 years when many children, babies and innocent civillians were killed. We suffered 8 years more then the gaza people suffer now. We never wanted war that's why we didn't do anything 8 years, but now it's time to stop and start doing something... or else it will never stop !! We are against war and want to live peacfuly with our neighbours, we are not to blame that the hamas doesn't care about the gaza civillians.

So this is your opinion about the situation? things are that clear? Are you doing anything to help the people that you said are living 60 years of genocide occupation and so on or are you just looking? i would like you to check things again, it is not so simple....

Liranlgo, I am happy to see you here again and to know that you are OK. I have been thinking about your safety. As far as self protection, you are right. Every country has the right for self protection. As long as I remember, there was always fight between Palestine and Israel. We all wish it can be stopped...

Well I believe that not all of the people in Gaza are involve but only a few Hamas are doing so. I guess Israel has a point of defending them but they should not include the Civilian population into this war and destroying lots of civilian properties in their attacks. It is the Hamas that started it they should pursue them. Although the civilian may be sympathetic to them but not all are involved in it.

israel does not want to hurt the civilians i know that the instruction is not to touch them but there are situation that the hamas takes a group of children and decide to shot missals at us from their house they do not let them go out of the house when we warn them that we will bomb the house in the next 30 minutes they do not care about their citizens they use them and this is sad

I'm not sure. I have only heard bits and pieces about it. I tend to think it is Gazas fault. I think they need to protect themselves also.

It is a disgrace that we, the civilised countries of the world let Israel face this aggression alone and then throw up our hands in horror when Israel is forced to take some action. Why, oh people, do we let this aggression continue all the best urban

The U.S.wouldn't be bombed for 8 years. After the First bomb, we would try to destroy whomever sent the bomb.It is our way. you hit us with a bomb, we destroy your country.But then afterward we may help the people who are left rebuild. That's what happened with Pearl Harbor- and then the Atomic Bomb.

Israel has every right to defend themselves. Its just sad that there are casualties. In every war there would always be casualties. I just hope that it would stop. But the only way it would is if all the terrorist group are eradicated. Or a new leader in the ISLAM world would rise that genuinely wants peace in the region.

I can understand Israel retaliated against rocket attack, but why Israelis military strike Palestinian civilians population instead of Hamas militants? It is counter productive and ineffective, so no matter how many million Israel manage to kill, as long as Hamas militants still alive and free, rocket will continue to rain into Israel for another 100 years after 8 years of rockets launched.
