| a serious question but have been in a coma. The answer is that Israel is defending its people. It civilians have been the target of 7000 rockets, over 5000 after they withdrew from Gaza with a promise of peace. 10 Israelies have been killed, buildings destroyed and businesses shot down. Hamas`s central charter calls for the destruction of Israel, so its behaviour is not surprising. Hamas repudiated a truce. It says that it refused to extend it, when Israel sought to extend it. Hamas has characterized every act of self defence by Israel, such as killing Hamas operatives planting bombs on the frontier, as an offensive act of aggression. Hamas shoots indiscriminately into Israeli cities and towns and brainwashes its children so that they hate Jews and Israelies. Israel has warned Hamas repeatedly that it cannot tolerate rockets forever. What you should be impressed by, is Israel`s restraint. Now, what would Norway do, if it were in a similar situation? |
