Israel

For myself, I am labeling Israel's attacks on Gaza an atrocity.

So far, 300+ Palestinians, including innocents, have been murdered, compared to 4 Israelis from Hamas hand-rockets. Israel will not even consider a cease-fire. To what end does this bombing lead? This is no precision attack against Hamas, this is indiscriminate bombing over innocent people. This is not going to eliminate Hamas or secure Israel's position in that region; quite the opposite, it will rally the region against Israel and ensure that terrorists will attack Israel with all the more vehemence.

I am further appalled that politicians would so easily take Israel's side in this, that this shamelessly lopsided attack should somehow be warranted or acceptable. It is not, and all calls should be for Israel to cease its bombing immediately.
