What would I do if I were in that situation? I might remember the following:
1. That the Palestinians live in a virtual concentration camp, with no food or medical assistance coming in for the past 18 months, and no possibility of getting out.
2. That the Palestinians have a legitimate claim to some of the land that Israel now illegally claims for itself.
3. That the pathetic homemade rockets are practically no threat at all to Israel–not one Israeli was killed in the latest round.
4. That Israel has killed many more civilians than has Hamas.
5. Do I really believe this show of force is going to bring peace to the situation?
