There was a truce between Israel and Gaza. Things may have not been ideal people living in Gaza but there wasn’t any killing between the two sides.

They don’t like each other, that much is very apparent, BUT there was a cease fire.

The day the ceasefire ended Hamas launched over 200 rockets into Israel. Israel had to do something. They could sit there and continue to be bombarded with rockets, or they could respond. Israel chose to respond. Everyone knows that Israel vs Hamas is like a F-22 vs a man with a stick.

Israel “could” completely destroy everyone and everything in the Gaza, but they are trying to only target the militants of Hamas. Yes innocent civilians are dying, but it could be much worse. They could just destroy the whole region.

Israel looks like the bad guys to most of the world, because Israel is much stronger, but it doesn’t matter who you are, if there is a group of militants on ANY country’s border launching 200 rockets a day at them, that country is going to respond.

Of course all this information that I’m giving you, is only what the news media has chosen to tell us. I don’t live in Israel or Gaza, so who knows for sure but them, and hatred blinds both sides so much that they probably don’t even know the truth.

It’s a never ending feud until one side loses permanently. Unfortunately for the palestineans it looks like Israel will be likely be the victor.

Hamas, which is known as a terrorist organization, has fired 3,000 rockets into Israel since the cease fire agreement. Last week alone, over 300 rockets were fired into Israel.

Israel is sick of the rockets and is trying to send Hamas a message that they want the rockets to end.

If Canada was firing rockets into the USA, don’t you think we’d fire back??

The “elected” rulers of the Palestinians has committed acts of war against Israel by launching rockets and mortars into Israel without provocation. Despite several unprovoked attacks by the hamas government, Israel did not militarily respond initially. Israel made several demands that Hamas cease fire. Hamas failed to obey this reasonable demand, and continued its aggressions upon Israeli citizens, not military targets. Israel grew weary of this and has now responded militarily, and is crushing the aggressors. Fair enough.

There was a cease fire. Hammas broke the cease fire by shooting rockets into Israel. Israel responded by defending themselves.
