Dear Cris,

which civilians are you refering to? The Israelis or the "palestinians"? The real victims in this conflict has been and is still Israel and her peace loving people. The "palestinians" are the ones who in solidarity voted in the terror organization hamas to be thier duly democratically elected government. There are reaping in bushels for what they have sown.

Time for sympathy is long past, and it is time for the IDF heroes to clean out the cancer of hamas and any vestige of islamic jihadists from thier borders. No other country has had to endure the rocketing bombings etc that has plagued Isreal. As long as they have to abide by useless ceasefires and un mandated peace, they will be under the gun of violence. A ceasefire for hamas, hisbolla and all of these warrior wonder wanna be's groups is just a pretence to re-arm and re-supply. A

nd on that subject, they should seriously consider striking at the arms dealing countries that are the fomenters of this endless fighting. Let Isreal put enough pressure on all of it's enemies, and the gut-less un will finally have to acty and commit ARMED peace keepers on her borders.

GOD BLESS you all of Israel, peace by war if necessary.
