    I want them to stop their moronic military resistance. When you are as weak and pathetic as Hamas or sorry ass excuse of Palestinian Authority, stop provoking a much stronger power and keep up their pathetic military resistance.

    From my perspective, the priority of any government in a military conflict should be 1) Protect it's OWN civilian population 2) Protect it's OWN military personnel 3) Try to minimize enemy civilian casualty, but if this in any way conflicts with #1 or #2,,,,, sorry tough luck to the enemy civilian population. Israel is not doing a very good job at minimizing Palestinian civilian casualty in the conflict, but you'll also have a very hard time trying to convince anyone that they are trying to maximize it as well.

    Also don't a significant % of Palestinian actually support these rocket attacks? Isn't it something like this, a majority of Palestinians support the rocket attacks initially, than Israel hits back. Support for the rocket attack drops, but after several years of no major Israeli operation rocket attack support increases again.

    They store their ammunitions in schools, hospitals, and mosques. You want Israel to just let them continue firing rockets (funny note I automatically capitalized "rockets") into Israel? They have only failed because Israel has invested the money the US gives to them in the Iron Dome. What has Hamas done with the money they've been given?

    Again, how is it brutal on Israel, but not on Hamas? This is not a war against the Palestinians, per se. This is a war against the militant government of Gaza who continues to provoke responses by repeatedly firing into Israel. Hamas leaders know full well what they are doing. They are telling people to die for the struggle. They are telling people to ignore the Israeli warnings.

    You're right though, they HAVE to fire from these locations. Because if they didn't, not enough Palestinians would die, and their strategy would fail.

    Not excusing all of Israel's actions. But I believe they are justified in this war, and Hamas is responsible for the current plight of the Palestinians in Gaza.
