Everyone how has died over these past few days has died because of the direct actions of Hamas. The death of Palestinians civilians is regrettable, but they are the author of their own destruction for their continued choice to aid and abet Hamas.

To quote William Tecumseh Sherman, an American Civil War General, "war is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out."

Yes, I meant as a citizen? I as a citizen wouldn't support that my city will kill hundreds and thousands of innocent because there could die maybe ten in my city espeically when I know that this "protection" of me isn't really a protection when there will be more and more people in cities around me who want to kill me after the actions of my gouvernment. 

Throwing bombs on a building to kill 10 innocent and detroy some hidden rockets which could maybe kill one innocent is surely not what I can support. 

If this would be a "normal" war between two countries and if one country wins, the war would be over you could maybe think it is a good idea but Israel won't win anything with this. They will hurt Hamas now but not forever and in the long run Hamas will only get stronger with more support. Some of those who will lose family members in Gaza will be full of hate against israel and they will do what they never did before, try to kill people in Israel. It's like a never ending story. 

I hope Israel keeps pounding. Hamas needs to get it's ass beat down pretty hard. They are murderous thugs, and should not be tolerated. Just my feelings.

What makes you think all of the people who died were aiding Hamas? Does throwing rocks at soldiers of a country who killed your families and fellow citizens makes you a Hamas supporter?

That figure isn't accurate.  It was about 30-35% of the population at that point, but the proposal also factored in future immigration.  

Israel is doing what it needs to bc no one else will. There is only one way to deal with terrorists.

Pardon.

But my point still stands..

Actually, Israeli tactics have been incredibly effective at reducing the amount of attacks on Israeli civilians.  Suicide bombings and other attacks were very common in the late 90's and early 2000's and have been greatly curbed.  It also has greatly retarded the growth of Hamas.

As for me, I would expect my government to protect me and my family.  I'd hope they would do it with a bit more finesse, but if my governement said "oh we're just going to ignore this", then I would vote them out lickedy split.

When you stop and think for a second, it's sad how Arabs/Muslims and Jews had no problem co-existing at all from 1400 years ago till about a century ago, and yet the 2 sides greatly despise each other in these times.

Problem is that the Iron Dome missile defense system doesn't work without enough time to intercept rockets.  Going to the proposed UN partitions would leave Israel incredibly vulnerable to rocket fire, and they have little reason to believe that this solution will stop the attacks.
