What is your proposal for the rocket supply that's being used on a rather regular basis for the past 10 months or so? Would you be OK with your neighbor firing off some shots into your window, as you slept?
Just curious. |

If my neighbour shot through my window. I would certainly not kill the whole neighbourhood and all their friends. |

I can easily turn this question around and ask you what would you do if you lived in a prison all your life and were pushed into isolation from the outside world the whole time? Wouldn't you get mad and go insane at some point? You have to look at the roots of this conflict and it is much much deeper than rockets being fired into Israel and I think you would at least agree with that? |

And you, just as all the mainstream media are very keen to make it look like a fact that the Palestinians are the ones who started all this with their rockets. As Israel was totally innocent until about yesterday. |

Powerful deterrent, isn't it? |

| No, it is lunatic, stupid, evil, unacceptable and wrong in every single way. I think you have proven my point pretty well, thank you. |

In case you didn't get my previous post, you thick-headed dolt.
Edit:

There was another, tiny, protest in Jerusalem last Friday. About 50 Israelis stood, silently, dressed in black, not far from the residence of the Prime Minster, Benjamin Netanyahu, holding placards that read simply "Stop the Occupation".
It is far from the reported 100,000 who marched on the streets of Tel Aviv demanding peace in 1978, as Menachem Begin left for the talks that led to the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt.
"Yes, there is a very small group of people who are actively promoting peace in Israel," said Lior Amihai, a member of Peace Now, an NGO that supports a two-state solution to the conflict, which would include Israel withdrawing from most of its settlements on the West Bank.
"Since 2000, more than ever before, this group has been marginalised."
The reasons were complex, he said. The failure of peace talks in the past decade had brought pessimism about an eventual solution. "And there was a campaign that there was no partner for peace on the Palestinian side" after Ehud Barak, now the Defence Minister, "went to Camp David and came back to say it is impossible to negotiate."
Soon after that, the second intifada began.
"If you are talking about Israeli society, what really distanced them from peace is the suicide bombings and the military operations in the West Bank," Mr Amihai said.
A second factor was that "almost everybody in Israel are soldiers". Everyone does military service, "and either you have a father, a brother, yourself, even your mother in the reserves – everybody is involved in defence, somewhere or other".
The third factor was the situation in Gaza itself, he said. Israel withdrew in September 2005, and "all we received is rockets from the Gaza Strip".
"So when you talk to people about what do you want from the Palestinians, they say 'We withdrew and look what we got.' "

| Are you able to speak for yourself or are you going around showing people newspaper articles to make your point? What are you really trying to say? |
