      If being attacked entitles one to retaliate with violence, then Israel has earned the attack that happened by miles.

      There has been none of this kind of outrage when Israeli MPs and soldiers brutalize Palestinians, kill international reporters, bomb news stations and residential centers, indiscrimnately kill women and children.

      If you don’t believe that violence warrants violent and wanton reprisal, then you should be against the Israelis laying siege to Gaza.

        Here we go again, This is one of those justification posts. To which I always respond that there is no justification for the various atrocities committed by Hamas. To which you respond with something about Israeli oppression. To which I respond that it still doesn’t justify the vile and nasty nature of Hamas action and if your moral compass says it does I feel sorry for you. Then I slowly get bored with your inane ideology. Good. So that’s it.

          And yet there’s justification for what Israel does, Israel who has all the power here. I can’t speak further with someone this hypocritical.

            Israel has the right to exist and defend itself. I feel sorry for you, but most of all I feel sorry for those that will spill blood.

              Absolutely, all those dead Palestinian children, totally justified. It’s Israel that has the right to exist, if only someone would tell Palestinians that their kids come second maybe they’d finally shut up about them dying, huh? Getting so uppity about some collateral damage, about being blockaded without food, electricity or water, about being routinely bombed with no recourse.

                  No, I’m agreeing with you, these Palestinian children got what they deserved. Israel is justified in using their overwhelming power and control of the situation to punish all of Gaza. You convinced me.
