Just wondering? Do you condone Hamas firing rockets into Israel? While
condemning the Israelis for attacking Hamas?

I think Israel has every right to retaliate agasinst an attack from
Hamas but I think she always goes way overboard and escalates things. If
she just took care of the business at hand and then ledt it there
wouldn;t be so mnay problems. And I wish we would stay out of their
internal affairs. If Iran or Syria decied to go after Israel, then that
would be another thing but messing about with Israel's border wars is
none of our business.

If someone blew your family to tiny, bloody, bits, do you think it is
possible that you might "go a little overboard"?
I find that it is rather hard to act impartially when you are the
injured party and while I don't necessarily condone Israel's reaction
I can damn well understand why they react that way.

Regarding the U.S.'s support of Israel, you are seeing Democracy in
action.... any group that controls a significant number of votes gets
noticed.
