It has been years of bombing of Southern Israel towns.

Again and again Israel has tried to signal of her intentions for peace, and even withdraw from Gaza, just to jump-start the peace process.

years is more than enough for any country to show restraint and not defend her own citizens.

It has nothing to do with election, but rather with doing the job of a minister in a government that is responsible to the lives of its citizents.
