Because their ancestral home is in Israel, not Texas. The Arabs have so much land, the Jews have very little. Why can't the Arabs live with so much when the Jews have so little? Really pretty insane. If the Muslim Turks can live in peace with the Jews in the Middle East which they did for CENTURIES, why can't the Arabs?
Ahmed,
You can't expect a different result when Hamas rocket's its neighbor day after day and week after week despite being warned numerous times to stop. No other nation would put up with that crap. No nation should.
You can't expect a different result when Hamas locates its militia facilities in residential neighborhoods. No other government does this.
You can't expect a different result when the Hamas militia wear civilian clothing and hide behind their women and children.
In short, you can't expect a different result whenever Hamas is involved. Hamas knowingly and willingly provoked war. Whatever ill has happened is due to the very bad decisions and choices of Hamas.
Isn't it telling that there were no Israeli attacks on the West Bank? And why is that? Simple. Because Fatah does not rocket and mortar civilian cities and towns.
The people of Gaza knew there would be a hefty price to pay if the Hamas rocket-fire did not stop. No Gazans staged protests at the actions of their government. No Gazans demanded that Hamas stop its attacks on Israel. Google it. None cared at all until they got a return to sender package.
To be fair, they only act that way when considering a nation that has one or more stars on its flag -- especially if that star is blue.Because Arabs are genetically predisposed to acting like unruly jackasses?
You know that was from the war of 1812, right?Liberty? Freedom? Independence? These were our objectives in 1776 and we, too, used rockets to achieve our goals:
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Well, Hamas' green flag is still there too. Three cheers for them!
If you were a Gazan would you go out into the streets to protest?

"We need our liberty, we need our freedom and we need to be independent. If we don't accomplish this objective, then we have to resist. This is our right," said Abu Marzouk, in an English-language interview.

They protest now. Should have done that weeks ago.If you were a Gazan would you go out into the streets to protest?

Yeah, you'd have a point except for the fact that we didn't target kindergartens, schools, hospitals, cafes, and other civilian installations. :roll:

There are no IDF military installations whatsoever in or around Sderot.It's not easy to hit a point target 20 miles away. If they had better rockets, every shot would hit a military installation.
They elected this organization. They very well realized the implications.Tell me what you would do if you were a Gazan and explain how it would lead to a solution?

Seriously, what could they possibly do to change their situation? Their government and police are legitimate targets to you.
Should they create an underground resistance group to fight Hamas, all the while becoming more collateral numbers from the Israeli solution?

The Gazans elected and support this government. The government of Gaza - Hamas - has always advocated the destruction of Israel still does. This government attacks Israel day-in and day-out. This government ignored weeks of warnings to stop the attacks and persisted in provoking war.You still didn't answer the question. By saying this your disregarding the entire history of the conflict and giving credit to these "elections". Do you actually believe they're legitimate or does it just make it easier to bomb them?

In light of these circumstances, no other outcome was possible.
Ok, so.... these rocket attacks are undertaken by 'rogue elements' within the Gaza Strip.I'm sorry you've convinced yourself that Gaza has a functioning government and that those firing rockets represent several million.
