10. I do not completely absolve them
of the situation in Gaza, but at the same time Hamas must be held responsible as well for the collective punishment. It is their terrorist policies that cause Israel to do what it can to try to protect itself.

it is a no win/catch 22 situation. Until you get people on both sides willing to negotiate, there will be problems.



Let me put this upon you.

what if Israel dropped the blockade completely, Hamas rearmed and started attacking Israel. What recourse would Israel have, given that Hamas generally strikes from civilian areas?
