Reply #26: It's not a case of either/or [View All]

It's not a matter of throwing support behind human rights violations and the killing of Palestinian civilians OR just sit there and take it (and note that the people making the decisions aren't the poor suckers sitting there and taking it). There are things Israel can try to resolve it, like agreeing to talk to Hamas, listening to what people in Sderot have to say, and things that don't involve making Palestinian civilians suffer the way they are. At the moment there's very little in the way of rockets happening, and it seems Hamas does have some control over them. But at the same time, it's got to be remembered that Palestinians shouldn't just have to sit there and take what's being done to them, either. The suffering they've gone through is infinitely worse than anything a resident of Sderot has gone through, and it annoys me that some in this forum (not including you in this) appears to believe that human rights abuses against Palestinian civilians is acceptable because they're 'minor'...
