I don't usually get involve din ME stuff, but in this case Israel seems right and Hamas seem cynical, who stir stuff up just so they can gain some popularity & funds.If they want Israel to stop, they should stop firing rockets at Israel, it's that simple. They won't win this and nobody will help them fight this - but then again, were would they be without fighting the oppressors?
About casualties, however regrettable, they are pretty low considering all the sorties IAF is doing these days,
A little off topic: as an outside observer, it's quite weird that the most..strong..anti-Israeli comments come from Pakistani and Iranian posters - from two countries that never had any conflicts with Israel, and in Pakistanis case, no connection whatsoever with Palestine. On the contrary, members from countries who actually had conflicts with Israel are more balanced in their view and/or don;t get involved.
