Judah...these missiles are not being fired for shits and giggles...they are being fired because of Israeli oppression. The constant state of siege on Gaza. The constant incursion of Israeli settlers...plus many many other reasons. Netenyahu even came out and said that he doesn't support a 2 state solution. His party never has. As long as Israel keeps encroaching on Palestininan territory and the human rights of the Palestinian people...the missiles will continue to come. They have violated every agreement that has brought peace. If you were in the Palestinian's shoes...what would you do? Just give up and let Israel steamroll you?

I get what you and Scott are saying, but what is Israel supposed to do? They are having a rather large number of missiles fired at them. Some of them to parts of Israel that no one thought they could reach. A ground force would be a huge escalation and the potential house to house combat could easily end up with as many civilians killed as air assault, though Hamas weapons might do more of the killing in that case. And there would be a great many more Israeli deaths. I absolutely do not believe that the aerial assault is the right thing to do on the part of Israel. But I also don't see what other options they have at this point. They should have gone down a very different political route well before this round of escalation, but they didn't. I fault them for that. But at this point, they are being attacked and I don't see a way to respond that does not incur significant civilian casualties because the legitimate targets (the ones firing the missiles) are mixed into a dense civilian population. Short of a cease fire that both sides can agree to, this is just going to play out as a tragedy on both sides.
