I hate to say this.... But what Israel needs to do is say "The next time you fucking fire a rocket into our country we are invading the Gaza strip and killing everyone and destroying every building - and then doing it". Israel gave them back the Gaza strip and this is what Israel gets in return? I don't fucking think so.

Look at is this way... If Mexico started lobbing missiles into San Diego from TJ, how long do you think it would take for the US to invade Mexico?
Yes but what you have to look at is what if the US had gone in and stole part of Mexico 50 years ago and forced all the Mexicans living on that land to leave. Would it mean they wouldn't have a right to fight to get it back?

If Mexico came in and took half of Cali would you not expect us to fight to get it back? Israel wasn't even a nation 100 years ago. It was created after WW2 to give the Jewish people a homeland. The land was taken from the Palestinians and they were forced to leave.

Now of course this was just the latest as the Jewish people had been run off that land 1000's of years ago. I mean that's what the crusades were about was that same section of land.

The deal is the Jews were given a homeland but yet still today the Palestinian are nothing more than refugees with out their own land. Nothing will ever be settled there until there is a Palestinian state. That's just the simple facts.

While I don't blame Israel for what they do, I mean hell they have been under attack since the first day they declared independence from British control. Yet on the flip side I can't blame the Palestinians for what they do..

The simple fact is both sides are in the right and in the wrong. Nothing will ever be solved there until both sides understand that and learn to live with each other.
