Quote:Not that I am defending Israel, but we obliterated two civilian cities to end a war. You cant just expect a country to sit back and let its civilians get terrorized and do nothing in response.

That was declared war against a country, though. This is Israel bombing entire villages over the actions of one terrorist not affiliated with the government. It's slightly different.

 

Also, the US had bombers flying over Hiroshima and Nagasaki for days before the bombings, dropping...flyers. Flyers printed in Japanese and warning the population to leave or risk being, you know, nuked. Israel gives Palestinian civilians no such courtesy.

 

Quote:So hamass should be hels harmless for using schools and villages as vases for their rocket fire?

No, Hamas should pay. They should pay with their lives. Thing is, the five-year-old kid on the playground that just got turned into a smoldering crater is not a member of Hamas. His older brother who was two blocks away probably just became one, though. Israel has the most sophisticated and brutally effective secret service in the world: the Mossad. The only reason I can figure for bombing villages instead of using the Mossad to quietly take out Hamas members is to send a message to Palestine. In modern parlance, the practice of using extreme violence to send a message is known as...wait for it...terrorism.
