Are you saying that Hamas' rockets which killed no Israelis warrented killing over 300 Palestinians? How many Palestinian lives are worth one Israeli life?

HUH ???

You did just say that no Israelis were or have been killed by hamas' rockets attacks. You really need to do some updated reading and research on that incorrect statement.

Sorry, but no country anywhere in this world (especially Israel) would let terrorists launch rockets into their country and just sit back and say "Hit Me One More Time" and not do anything about it. Did the U.S. just sit back and do nothing when we were attacked on September 11 or when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor...... I don't think so.

Israel is really "pissed off" at Hamas and I don't blame them for doing what they have to do. Unfortunately in war people live and people die.... It's really sad, but Hamas is to blame for their own civilian deaths. None of this would have happened if they had just quit teasing and poking that Kodiac Bear

i think you are the one who needs to do some updated cause he was almost close

as matter of fact Hamas rockets just killed one Israeli women thats all and Israel killed 350 Palestinian so far just in 3 days

yeah thats right no country anywhere in this world would like other countries to launch rockets into their country but can you think about that its Palestinian country . go back before 1984 there was nothing called Israel on the map .so what Hamas is doing now they trying to defned their country and they try to get back their country that Israel stolen it since 60 years ago.

if you don't blame Israel for killing 350 women,old men,children so i guess you have to see a doc then.

as matter of fact Hamas is really pissed off at Israel cause they want to live in peace and they can't cause Israel is killing Palestinian people every single day

look at the picture we are talking here about a country which have the newest air force , army,tanks,nuclear,............attacking so week country which don't have anything but some rocks ..no medicine no food no army no tanks they don't have even guns

and you don't blame them what a shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we need to be careful about inflammatory rhetoric which demonizes one side or the other...especially when we are discussing the Palestinians and the Israelis. It only serves to alienate. Before the term "terrorist" is used, maybe we should talk about what that means...and put some context to it. If you believe that the Palestinians and the Israelis are at "war", is there any attack by either side that should be called a "terrorist" attack?

I also do not believe in minimizing the grievances of the Palestinians, as there are many who believe them to be legitimate. Any non-revisionist history of this conflict will enlighten you as to why the Palestinians have not "quit teasing and poking that Kodiak bear". The Pearl Harbor analogy is not appropriate. The current conflict (war) has been going on for more than 50 years...and it did not start with a Pearl Harbor-style attack.

I am not trying to support one side or the other. There is plenty of blame to go around. All I am trying to do is to keep the discussion in context and free of demonization.

By the way, I worked my way through school by working in the canneries (and fishing) in Kodiak, Alaska. I enjoyed hiking and camping there. I saw many Kodiak bears in the wild. They are majestic creatures to behold. The only Kodiak bears that you can get close enough to...and poke with a stick(!)...are the ones who feed daily at Kodiak's garbage dump.

cycle continues... everyone hates Hamas for firing rockets then Israel for retaliating, then suicide bombers

How many Israelis died from Hamas' rockets that were launched before Israel started this slaughter of Palestinians? Please provide your source.

And I think you are taking my example way too literally.

Pick another bear shall we?!

Hamas doesn't rack up the kills because they crappy technology. They shoot hoping they hit a bus full of kids. The only way they get the big kills is by suicide bombing. They are lower than dogs.
