re: indiscriminate bombings

You might want to educate yourself on the provocations involved.

A few questions:

--How many casualties and attacks on Israel should it take before any retaliation? Five? Fifty? Or as Lee says, should Israel just treat constant bombardment from Gaza or elsewhere as a natural phenomenon, to be ignored by all but the victims themselves?

--Does Hamas bear any responsibility at all for civilian casualties when they turned Gaza into an arsenal, terror camp, and launch pad after Israel pulled out completely? Does it bother you that they have made no effort to build any kind of peaceful society?

--I hear the buzz phrase "disproportionate response." What would you consider a "proportionate response" by Israel? Details, please.

--Israel is trying hard to avoid civilian casualties. Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups are trying hard to inflict them. Does this important distinction make any difference at all to you? Only one side in this war is engaging in "indiscriminate" attacks. It isn't Israel.
