Hamas launches attacks...Israel responds....Hamas claims Israel is causing hardships.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

We used to have kids like Hamas in grade school. You know the type...they’d pick on you, trip you in the hall, goad you into a fight and when you finally had enough, you’d punch the daylights out of him.

The next day, you’ve been suspended and are facing legal action.

Last I checked, Gaza shares a 10 mile border with Egypt and has a 25 mile Mediterranean coastline.

Israel should immediate install two Phalanx “C-RAM” defensive systems to protect Sderot. Though it has been observed elsewhere they they are probably concentrating them in the North to protect against Hezbollah’s far more lethal katyusha rockets.

Firing 20mm airburst rounds, one or two Phalanx C-RAMs would make Gaza rockets useless against Sderot. The biggest problem is that they are very noisy.

How many Palestinians does it take to change a light bulb?

None—they would rather sit in the dark and blame the Jews.

No, no, no. No Mediterranean country has ever survived without getting all its electricity and food from another nation. How could ANYONE possibly turn 25 miles of Mediterranean sea-front into a functioning economy? Its never been done I tell you.

If they weren't so obsessed with their "victim" status, they'd take that 25-mile Mediterranean coastline and turn it into a major tourist/shipping destination. Too bad "the man" is keeping them down. /sarc

a 25 Mile Mediterranean Coastline?!! The Possibilities are endless... but these people are not interested in living like human beings.

I’d cut off EVERYTHING to these savages. Screw ‘em. Why is it Israel’s responsibility to provide power to its mortal enemy in the first place?

But if you want the Jews marched into the sea and depend on immoral UN socialists to advance your cause that never EVER matters.

The Berlin airlift comes to mind only with a twist. Israel should just drop food and medicine on Gaza periodically and invite embedded journalists along for the ride.

Journalists love adventure and coddling and after a few months even the stupidest of idiots would get it.

The Palestinians got an independant state in Gaza. They voted in Hamas. Why should Israel supply either Hamas or the people who voted them in anything?

The United States had a Congress that passed mortgage ‘fairness’ lending laws that is causing the subprime meltown. Greedy Wall St. types and members of our government we either hire or vote in further manipulated and fleeced the system.

Now domestic and global investors are reacting by putting their money elsewhere. Unless you are one of the above who created this problem then your like me, suffering through others bad choices as part of a system of government known as a nation.

So now that I am suffering economically, should I have a camera man come in, takes some video, air it nationally and then blame Canada for my suffering because we share trade and some ethical heritage with the Canadians?

No, We the People voted the bums into the White House and we will vote them out. And if that is not enough, we know what to do after that point to force accounability and freedom back into our nation.

Every missile attack -- by sovereign "Palestine" upon sovereign Israel, which is in fact an act of war -- should be greeted with an artillery bombardment of appropriate duration.
