The problem is Hamas to some extent. They are religiously fundamentalist and a tad nuts.

But you also need to judge Israel's actions too and judge them with the same standards. Why to you refuse to do this? Take a look at what Israel were doing to the Gaza since…

Capster,

If you want to look at the facts so far, Israel are the ones dropping the bombs on non-military targets. There is no evidence to suggest that Hamas are using most of these targets in a military function that is a threat to Israel. Also there is no evidence…

grafton,

That was a nice post from the Geneva Convention.

Now you have to try to apply it correctly with a factual basis.

"From Time Immemorial," by Joan Peters was a hoax book. It is not taken seriously by any serious scholar on the topic.

Superlib,

Non-sequitur. The question still stands: What would you describe as a proportionate response?

I think that Hamas military targets are okay. I do not think that Government buildings and Universities etc are military targets. There is NO EVIDENCE that they are being used for military purposes and a threat…

MikeBarrymore ,

I agree. The actions of Israel are unjustifiable.

Have a happy new year and I hope for peace in the Middle East for 2009!

The Palestinians so not want peace. They want all Israelis dead.

I think you will find many want a one state solution but few want "all Israelis dead". I am sorry you have come to this opinion.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. Should the world have sent them Christmas presents?

The Palestinian people elected their own Government and now must live with the consequences.

Terrorist organization in accordance to who? The US and Israel? If we apply the definition of what is a terrorist I think you…

But the Government of Israel does not exists to completely eradicate the Earth of Palestinians. In fact they have persevered with them for a long long time when no other country would even accept them. The Arab countries use the Palestine's for their own anti semitic agenda, with no…

Superlib,

I appreciate you seriousness and excellent sources of information but I have to disagree with your argument.

The mere fact that Israel was letting limited supplies of humanitarian aid into Gaza is not a positive for Israel. (under much international pressure) It just underlines the helplessness and impoverished nature…
