It is extremely difficult to wage war to an opponent who cowardly hides behind its citizens, while calling out Israel a coward itself. Trust me, if Israel could wage an open all-out war, *it would*, and the problem would have been solved a very long time ago.

People seem to think misleadingly that Israel has a problem with all Arabs. This is completely and utterly untrue. Many Arabs are very good people, trustworthy even. But there are extremists which, unfortunately, force Israeli to tag all Arabs as "potentials". This is only a matter of making sure. We too are only trying to survive. If the attacks cease, our retaliations will also cease. We only want peace. Our army is comprised of soldiers who DEFEND. If we must retaliate in order to halt attacks on our civilians, we will, and that is the bottom line.

It is good to ask for the "mercy of israelians," but we do not force anything. All we prone is peace, and this is something we have been trying to do for years.
