(13,538 posts)Because NONE of it would be happening if they hadn't done what they did. So it was the "last straw' for the Israelis. They've told them for months to leave; Hamas tells them to stay Israel isnt perfect by far. And Netanyahu MUST go. But I'll let them do what they think they must do to take out as many terrorists as possible. Dealing with Islamists isnt easy; they dont fight by the "rules of war", they willfully use civilians as shields, they build their networks in civilian areas, etc.
Maybe ONE day they'll learn that Israel isnt going anywhere. Until then, well, they get what they get.
As I've asked before, if all these rich Arab nations care about the Palestinians SO much, then why aren't they offering to help them? Why aren't they offering to take any in? Why dont they offer a combined Arab force to go into Gaza & rid the area of Hamas? I think Israel would welcome that. Jordan, Egypt, S.A. etc, all form a NATO-like military force to go in & get rid of the terrorists while protecting the civilians. I'd bet the Gazans would welcome them as opposed to Israeli forces. Why dont they do that? The UN goes all over doing it. The US does it. Why cant these Arab nations do it? But we hear nothing but critics. of Israel
Because they dont really care either.
