It is really sad, what is going on now
Palestine is becoming a sad case for human stupidity and stubbornness. Also pertinent.
The problem can best be summed up here:
A doctor, called Ali, was calmer. But he said that he was too depressed to return to work.
"I hate life here. I hope to emigrate to anywhere in the world. This is not a life. Our suffering was too much," he said.
"The main problem is the occupation. If we don't have a state how can we live, make a future for our children? That is our problem. We are a people without a state."
They are not a people without a state. Israel gave a part of its territory so that Palestine can have a state, they are living in it now and it's not bad land. Why can't they settle for that? No, they would rather commit genocide themselves than allow Israel to continue to exist. I feel extremely sad for the Palestinian people but they chose their stupid leadership, they chose to believe that Israel has no right to exist, and they chose to not accept the state that they already have. They would rather give up everything, including their lives, so that they can take what Israel has and kill all the Israelis. What they want is not acceptable and they are too stupid to realize that. Israel is a legitimate government and a legitimate state. It is not going away, no matter what Hamas does.
This strike was one of many to try and stop the Hamas rocket attacks on Israel, that happen every day.
Israel says that its continual military pressure on Gaza is an effort to stop militants here firing rockets every day into nearby Israeli towns and villages.
Both the Hamas and Islamic Jihad organisations claimed to have launched the deadly strike.
Israel has stated often that when the rockets stop, they will stop. The rockets don't stop. They have been launched everyday for at least the past five years. That's many thousands of rocket fired to target innocent Israeli civilians. According to the campaign group Human Rights Watch, Israel has fired up to 15,000 artillery shells into Gaza since September 2005.
In the same period Palestinians have fired 1,700 homemade rockets into Israel.
That's an act of terrorism and is truly defined as a war-crime and is, in fact, globally recognized as an Act of War. In contrast, Israeli attacks are targeted at launch sites but they occasionally miss. It is the intent here that matters; Israel is after only the launchers and tries to avoid hitting civilians whereas Hamas doesn't care who or what they hit, as long as the rockets hit. The Palestinian people can't seem to realize that Hamas is the problem.
The US is correct, no civilized country should have to tolerate its people being constantly targeted by anyone, not even terrorists. If the Palestinian government won't even try to stop the attacks than Israel has the right to do it for themselves. The Palestinian people themselves voted Hamas into power and it was with full knowledge of Hamas' agenda. It is therefore a legitimate conclusion that the Palestinian people support everything Hamas does and they should accept the legitimate consequences, in this case, attacks on Palestinian Territory. It is Hamas that continues waging war on Israel and not the other way around.
The message is clear, stop the acts of war, now. Hamas and the Palestinian people refuse to listen. In this case, democratically, the Palestinian people have chosen to support Hamas and its continuous attacks on Israel. They now have to bear the burden of that support. It is sad but they chose this when they chose Hamas. It's not like they didn't know.
