I understand both sides to this argument. Yes it is sad that innocent civilians are being killed, my heart goes out to those displaced, harmed, killed, losing family members, friends, it must be horrific.
I understand also that Israel is getting tired of rockets being launched into their country, terrorists coming in by tunnels. I feel if the United States had this issue with terrorists from Mexico or Canada, we would go in and eliminate the threat, with or without the permission of the governing authorities.
If it is true that Hamas has been hiding rockets in schools, firing rockets from hospital parking lots. I understand why Israel attacks those targets. If true, Hamas is putting the innocents of Gaza in harms way and has no right to blame anyone but themselves.
