So, war crimes beget war crimes? Firing rockets indiscriminately is a

So, how would you stop them?

They can't be stopped. You should know that. From where I sit, Israel
just gave Hamas a very powerful tool. Hamas is a terrorist organization,
and what do terrorists do? So now, what does Israel do when Hamas fires
more rockets? And on, and on, it goes.


Oh, so the Israelis should just roll over and commit mass suicide? They
tried that at Masada, didn't really do much good.

They have done exactly the same thing any nation does when faced with
terrorists attacking them,, they took the fight to the terrorists,, just
like the US did following 911, (should have stuck to Afghanistan, but
that's another tale).

It's taken the Brits and the Irish terrorists, (yes, anybody who sets
bombs to deliberately kill innocent women and children to accomplish a
political goal is by definition a terrorist) only about 400 years to
come to an agreement,,, but in the end Britain is still Britain,
Ireland is still Ireland and the assholes have stopped killing innocents.
