When the Hamas attack Israel, and Israel fights back, they claim Wanton Aggression.
I understand the Palestinians won't quit until Israel is dead. But Israel must fight to survive attacks. If the Arabs, Palestinians, Hamas keep attacking Israel they will continue to be destroyed.
This is typical bully hitting someone, and when they fight back, they cry.
Israel won the Gaza strip in the 1967 war, then the Hamas begged that they would be content and stop all aggression if they got the Gaza strip back. This war will not stop, until they leave the Jewish people alone. I am not Jewish.

PresidentDon's point seems simplistic to me. The percentages of dead since WW2 have been roughly 2 dozen Palestinians for every one Israeli. The roots of this conflict are decades old and few alive can begin to reconstruct the events, but the fact remains that the world dumped the "Jewish problem" on an unsuspecting and completely harmless people.

Since then Israel enjoys billions of dollars in military and material aid which it uses to repress those whom are technically it's own citizens. The usurpations of settlers against Palestinian citizens and families are constant and utterly unchallenged by "concerned America".

We are not only witnessing an ethnic cleansing, we are funding it.
