Israel has no choice but to strike Hamas - Peter Worthington
What's unfortunate about the world-wide condemnation of Israel for invading Gaza is that there was so little condemnation of Hamas during its years of firing rockets into Israel. Had international outrage been directed at Hamas provocations, it might have dissuaded Hamas from thinking it was invulnerable to Israel's displeasure. It was the thousands of rockets fired indiscriminately at civilian targets in Israel over the years -- intensified since mid-December when the Egyptian-brokered six month ceasefire was terminated by Hamas -- that led to the air attacks and now land invasion by Israel. Despite urgings by the Pope, the UN and world leaders (including America) for a ceasefire, Israel will do what it feels it must to protect the state and its citizens. Note EU-Digest: Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "If a man hasn't found something he will die for, he isn't fit to live. Over the long haul Isreal will not win its battle against terrorists by using brute force. What the Israeli's, their US backers, Hamas and many of their supporters still don't seem to understand, is that power does not come from the barrel of a gun.
