Ground troops in Gaza. Give me one good reason why this is needed?

Palestinians have embraced death because it has more to offer than the life under Israeli imprisonment.

Its called losing all hope and is exactly the problem with the majority of the Middle East right now. This is the reason we have so many extremist ideologies from that region, this is the reason we have suicide bombers.

This invasion and bombing isn't the real problem, the real problem is the occupation, imprisonment, starvation, no electricity, no jobs, no connection with the outside world, constant harassment from IDF and settlers, no freedom of mobility, no future life of any king being presented to the average Palestinian.

Israel is causing its own terrorism. Israel can fix this by simply discontinuing its illegal acquisition and occupation of Arab lands. This isn't the 1960's and 70's. Arabs by large have given up their fruitless claims to Israel Proper, as evidenced in 2001 or 2000 when they all presented Israel with a full peace plan for the entire region where all Israel had to do was return to their own country to have full peace and normal relations with everyone.

However, Israel didn't even discuss it and instead to continue the bloodshed of its own people.

What kind of people are the Israelis who vote for these leaders who would rather see their people have to hide from missiles and their sons and daughters in IDF facing a constant enemy whose only desire is death?

 

Don't even make me break out the speeches of Hamas saying that they will accept nothing but the dstruction of the state of Israel.  There is no peace, because the Palestinian leadership admits that they don't want it... they want to "drive the Jews into the sea".  That is their admitted goal, which cannot be denied, because they admit it on TV.  So it's not a matter of my opinion, it's a matter of Hamas admits that this is the only outcome they will accept... "Palestine, from the River to the Sea"
