Oh, by all means, stand behind it. But accept how foolish you look when you and the entire world has observed Hamas indiscriminately firing missles into Israel for months now, trying to provoke a response. Well they got their response.

Oh, and by the way...

"Israel is so scrupulous about civilian life that, risking the element of surprise, it contacts enemy noncombatants in advance to warn them of approaching danger. Hamas, which started this conflict with unrelenting rocket and mortar attacks on unarmed Israelis - 6,464 launched from Gaza in the past three years - deliberately places its weapons in and near the homes of its own people. . . . There's only one grievance and Hamas is open about it. Israel's very existence."

Yes, the writer is Jewish. So what?

I hope that someday we can put aside our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.
