There are lots of things the Palestinians do as you well know. One of them is to send their kids out into the street to throw rocks at tanks and heavily armoured soldiers. Is that one of the things you would do as well ?
He is only answering the question and your "belittling him" at every turn
You can not be that niave to realise that the people in Gaza have not, very little food, little fuel, their "terrioirty" is bascially one big police state controled by Isreal, so what do you expect the people to do ?
No parent their right mind wants children to be hurt, but if their is no hope of a future for your children, thats what happens.
Can you not see that ?

If I was being fired upon, I would like to know why they are attacking me ?
If I was firing, I would like to know why we are attacking ?
The reality is that war would happen at some point as no country is willing for it terrioirty to be used by others

I would attempt to negotiate with the government of the offending state.
I would attempt to drum up international support for sanctions etc. against the state concerned.
I would take military action as a last resort, not acting unilaterally if possible.
I would stop trying to starve the citizens of the state concerned.
I would not watch whilst citizens of the state concerned die in hospitals where surgeons are forced to operate on more than two casualties at a time and then wonder why the other states' citizens are hostile.
I would not seek to justify the defence of civilian targets by bombing the hell out of other civilian targets. Bombing a school probably wouldn't be an action I would choose either, if I am honest...

Talk.... if that fails.
More talk and negotiate ... if that fails.
Get third parties involved and more talk and negotiate. ... if that fails.
FIRE BACK .. KICK THEIR BUTTS. 🙂

Originally posted by FMFWhat is a country? Defined borders, self governance? Seems that since Israel moved out and Gaza elected Hamas, they are a democratically governed "country".
Well, technically speaking, Gaza is not a country, of course. But I guess I would do something along the same lines as what the Palestinians are doing.
Their government (Hamas) has gone to war with its neighbor, and the people suffer the consequences of their government's actions.

You mean rockets fired from a neighboring concentration camp which I maintain?
Probably think, first of all, 'Damn it! Where the hell did they get the material to build those? There must be holes in our blockade!!!
Then if I was in a reflective mood, I might consider the difficulties of maintaining a concentration camp of that size.
Of course, ...[text shortened]... o be freed from that concentration camp -- and so I might consider dismantling my border posts.

If a child is kicking on my leg, do I kill him? No.
If a child is kicking on my leg, do I kill him along with his family and friends? No.
What do I do? I go away from him. But kill him? Never. Why? Because I'm a civilized guy.
