I just got back from Israel yesterday, and was actually hoping to see one of these threads. Pretty funny to see everybody stand on the Palestinians side, as all of you feel so bad for them.
I had to run into a bomb shelter 3 times on my trip, and I was in Jerusalem. Our entire itinerary was changed because of rockets being flown at Tel Aviv, Haifa, and etc. What nobody seems to understand is how Hamas puts their OWN civilians in harms way. They are firing rockets from schools, mosks, homes, and etc. Look at the international community in this conflict. Hamas is breaking tons of international laws.
Egypt, who always sides on the Arab/Palestinian side has not yet condemned Israel, and are in favor of them destroying Hamas. Should Israel not be allowed to protect its people? There has been literally thousands of rockets fired at civilians in 80% of Israel within the past month. However, because of their advanced technology in the Iron Dome defense system, thankfully, not many of them reach those populated areas with civilians.
Hamas has no regards for anyone, including themselves. Setting up their own people to die. People often complain about how many civilian Palestinians die during these conflicts, but honestly, it's inevitable when they are put on the front lines trying to be a blockade for the terrorists.
No country in the world would allow their civilians to be fired at like Israel is. They have to live in fear day in and out with rockets over their head and sirens going off.
Israel is constantly letting Palestinians in terrorists areas to evacuate and leave ASAP because they will be bombed.
Not sure why I'm wasting my time on this subject, as most members on here are with one side.
Here's a picture where we were driving on a highway and the missle siren alert went off, and the rocket flew right over our head. Luckily, the Iron Dome took care of business.

No one here is condoning the rocket attacks and we have claimed they are just as wrong. Sorry you had to go through what you did. But you can put yourself in the Palestinians' shoes too. Just try.
Palestinians live in constant poverty, constant oppression, and the bombardment they receive when Israel attacks is a heck lot more deadly and destructive. They are being butchered.
GO in Gaza for a day and let me know how you'll feel after you get out.
They live like cockroaches, and are a people who are being collectively punished for Israel's own agenda. Do not compare to me the beautiful Israeli cities to a hell hole that is Gaza.
What Israelis suffer from the threat of rockets or rockets launched is no where close to the disgusting, vile, and daily constant mistreatment and occupation of Palestinians on a daily basis. They live like caged animals in Gaza and some areas of the West Bank while Israelis have the freedom and luxury of beaches, water, food, and not being treated like an animal just for being Palestinian on their own land.
Please visit Gaza and the West Bank where you will see the impact oof the occupation and then come talk to me about Palestinians.
