Yeah, But

VOA News - Hamas Rejects Israel's Conditions for Cease-Fire: "U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon - on a weeklong tour of the region - was in the West Bank town of Ramallah Friday. He suggested Israel should stop waiting for cease-fire negotiations and end its assault immediately. 'The fighting must stop now ' he said. 'We have no time to lose. If they take some more time there will be more casualties more losses of human lives more destructions. I would urge you again that a unilateral declaration of ceasefire would be necessary at this time.'"

Ok, to me it's as simple as a country not wanting to get rocketed daily. If Mexico was constantly shooting rockets at us, I would want the US Armed Forces to destroy the source.

In Israel, the source of the rockets is Hamas in Gaza. Israel has every right to use force to stop the rockets. All Hamas has to do is stop firing them and give up the rockets. It's not worth all the lives being lost for Hamas to keep firing them, is it? The burden of the deaths are not on Israel's shoulders, but wholly on Hamas'. I hope Israel is successful in its attempt to stop those terrorists once and for all.
