Polarised views of the Mid-East conundrum

Regardless of how many missles (converted firecrackers as effective as throwing rocks over the border fence) rain down on the heads of the Israelis, the massive onslaught by the Israeli Defence Force can not be justified. The existence of a people can not simply be wiped out. Jews of all people should know better what the abuse of power can lead to. Yes, I am making a comparison to the Holocaust. Get over it. Hamas will fall eventually. Leave them be. Let thme make there own mistakes. And if it means moving Israelis back 10 km from the Gaza border, so what? The conflict has been raging for 2000 years. Grow up Olmert et al.

Hamas should be eternally ashamed of the way they have acted. If there were an award for the most childish governing body in the world Hamas wins by a landslide even surpassing the bratty Russians and arrogant American administrations. To continue to allow rocket fire on a stronger power is not only irresponsible but pig headed. To establish military and police barracks near civilian areas is sickening. The Palestinian blood that is spilled during Israeli attacks is partly to blame on the Israelis and nearly fully the responsibility of Hamas. Grow up Haniyeh.
