You really need to take a chill pill. Israel emphasizes the number of rockets fired at her territory from Gaza. I am no military expert, but because there are very few casualties in Israel, it tells me that these rockets are nothing more than glorified firecrackers. In contrast, Israel's rockets are far more lethal and equally indiscriminate. I find abhorrent some talkbackers' attempt to dehumanize the people of Gaza. They obviously did not learn anything from the past. And shame that your parents did not instill any sensitivity in you, either.

I agree with you on many of your sentiments; mostly those in the last paragraph. But you are wrong on two counts. 1. Don't call the arab rockets firecrackers. These ‘firecrackers’ can kill. Don't blame the Israelis for having both good fortune and good bomb shelters. 2. Don't call the Israeli rockets indiscriminate. They are anything but. Israel takes great pains to hit only those terrorists involved in the shooting (unlike the arabs). If others are hit it is because the terrorists launch from built up areas, close to schools, mosques, etc.

"Ignoring unpleasant facts on the ground"; The arabs, yes. The Israelis, no. Ignoring unpleasant facts; you.

Continuing to bomb those in Gaza who have attacked Israel is common sense. It makes Israel look like a cruel bully only to those with a preconceived hatred of Israel. Good thing Israel is led by people smarter than you. The average Ynet poster knows better.

Don't think-it's only making you sound like fool.
