42. Oh good grief. Talk about false equivalencies....

If the indigenous tribes of the USA resorted to that...they would be right to do so. It's their land we stole, so don't give me that bullshit of "if it happened here". Particularly since it did happen in a way on 9/11. And we know how that turned out.

Hamas attacks, Israel hits back. Hamas attacks, Israel hits back...the cycle has only been going on for the past half century or so. Expecting something different?

There are alternatives, but no one is willing to stick thier neck out, least of all Bibi whom you are defending. I prefer a peaceful solution, but since you are hell bent on war, lets go with that scenario.

The Palestinians are ripe for a civil war. The PA and Hamas/Islamic Jihad/etc. hate each other with a passion. Obviously we can't arm the PA or train them as it will look like "Western Influence"...but you know, both Russia and China don't have that hobbling them. Slip them some cash and allow them to train and buy weapons. Hell, allow them to buy tanks and planes and just say it came from Turkey. The PA knows how to smash Hamas once and for all, we are just not letting them. All Tel Aviv has to do is look the other way. Even better, it takes the focus away from Israel vs. Palestine to a Palestinian Civil War that Israel has nothing to do with.

But it won't happen as Bibi want's all Palestinians removed or dead. Despite the fact they are all ancestorally Jewish who converted to Islam. Not like they took Jewish children from Yemen from thier parents to be raised as western Jewish people....oh wait....
