But do you also think they should duke it out or just use a temporary cease fire? The reason why they are in this mess is because Israel gave the gaza strip back so they wouldn't have a war. But once the crase fire was up, Hamas immediatley started attacking Israel. | |

Hamas formed as a way for the people of the Gaza strip to defend themselves. That was after Israel was attacking them. Besides, the reason that there is so much bombing from Israel on the Gaza strip recently is not because of the few minor bombs that the Hamas sent over, it is because we are supporting this warfare. We send millions to Israel every day for no good reason. | |

In answer to your question, I think we should do no more than stop sending money to Israel and by doing that things would get much better | |

Eddie Boswell Member Posts: 30 | According to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas , hamas was founded in 1987 which is long after an Israeli state was founded (in the 50's). plus the majority of the aggression was after the initial placement of Israel. I don't care what you say if it is a terrorist group or not. when someone straps a bomb to themselves and blows up many other people, that is terrorism to know that people will kill themselves to kill many other civilians. | |

There may be a few terrorists there, but that is in responce to the infinatly more bombs sent over by Israeli forces. Them not fighting back would never happen. The Palestinians in Gaza put their trust in anyone who can give hope to the people, that is all they have, that is what they do. Their people don't give up. I personally don't blame them. | |

Israel is an illegal state at this point though i think they should give gaza and southern israel to the west band to combine and form Palistine | |
