that Israel has a right to defend itself. But I seriously question HOW they do it.

They have an organization that is equal to and perhaps better than the US CIA and Special Forces combined. Let them do undercover work to take out Hamas, who is their real enemy. I know that they say that Hamas locates operations in civilian places to use civilians, including children, as human shields. That probably is true. But taking out civilians along with Hamas sites does not solve the problem. If it did, the violence would have ended decades ago. It only creates new enemies.

Go after Hamas. Stop settling on Palestinian land. Stop trying to take all of the land. Eliminate Hamas and work with the Palestinian people for peace. Accept a two state solution. This is Palestine, not Canaan.

I believe that cooperation with other nations on covert activities could destroy Hamas. Let that be the focus.
