What is this world coming down to?

Israel in 'all-out war' with Hamas, this was the heading on CNN 10 minutes ago. "All out war", who are they trying to kid. "All out masacre" thats what the heading should read. Let me start off by saying that there is nothing wrong with Israel's desire to live in peace. But lets be honest here, do Katusha rockets that have killed one Israeli civilian in the last three days warrant the magnitude of response that has killed over 300 and wounded over 700 with NO end in sight!! Firstly, for those who say it is, shame on them. I am sure the great jewish people who faced the holocaust must be rolling over in their graves, wondering whether they even want to be associated with a country that is acting in a way that they fought against till their last breath. Secondly, does anyone in their right mind think that this is going to prevent further katusha rockets from being launched into Israel!!! Has everyone forgotten the war with Hezbollah in 2006. Lemi remind everyone here, the objective was to free the 2 Israeli soldiers that Hezbollah had captured. The result, 48 days of no achievement except for bombing the shit out of a hapless country. How much did that war help the security of Israel in the middle east? NONE what so ever.Why are we to think that this time around it will do anything different.

If we don't even get into the circle of who started what first, did Israel break the peace agreement or did Hamas by firing rockets? it has been all over the news media (even CNN agrees) that due to Israel's blockade there was a humanitarian crises in GAZA for the last few months. There was a shortage of Food, Water and Health Supplies and Israel was not allowing basic necessities to go inside GAZA till the rockets stopped flying into Israel. I don't see why anyone doesn't have a problem with this. Lets see, a fews rockets a day that injure people in Israel vs people being starved to death.

An all out ground invasion of GAZA, what in God's name will that accomplish. The rate of rockets being fired into Israel since all this started has increased tremendously. So if this is not going to stop HAMAS (a democratically elected government I should point out) than what the hell is it going to do except for killing thousands of innocent civilians and fueling hatred.

And how is all of this going to make Israel stronger in the long run. Somebody please explain that to me. Do you honestly think this will not fuel more hatred and possible suicide bombings targeted towards Israel and the US, who says that they are monitoring the situation - what the hell does that mean anyway.

And I do also want to state for all my dear Muslim friends out there, that the Arab countries are as much to blame for this Israel herself. The great nation of Egypt shut down its borders and will not allow any Palestinian to enter, so if you are a Palestinian living in Gaza you can't leave to save your life, you can't fight back cause you got nothing to fight with, all you can do is wait under the freaking sun for a bomb to come hit you so that it takes away your miserable existence. 10 years from now Westerners are going to wonder why the hell does a Palestinian kid whose innocent parent's were killed in a SMART BOMB attack by Israel want to blow up everything - he must be brainwashed.
