Could you refrain with the up to the minute breaking news links?
This is a forum for discussion not a news channel.
My news links reflect that the missile attacks on Israel are continuing and the lives of civilian Israelis are being severely disrupted. That is relevant information to the discussion.
The last link I posted showed how Israelis in a bus were nearly killed and injured from an incoming missile from Gaza. So that is definitely something that people need to know when discussing this issue.

According to Tal Brody (Israel's Goodwill Ambassador and former captain of the Israel's basketball team Maccabi Tel Aviv which won the European Cup years ago):
+950 rockets have been fired at Israel since November 14.
Average of
8 per hour, or one every 8 minutes
100 rockets fired towards Israel from Gaza, landed in Gaza risking civilian life
+2000 rockets have been fired at Israel in 2012.
+3200 rockets have been fired at Israel since 2009.
+13000 rockets have been fired at Israel in last 12 years.
Iron Dome has intercepted +310 rockets headed toward civilian areas, including Tel Aviv.
Terrorists hold more than 10,000 rockets in Gaza.
3.5 million Israelis are under the threat of rocket fire.
Hamas rules the Gaza strip and is responsible for all that occurs in Gaza and all that is launched from there.
Hamas, supported by Iran, has wielded authority over the Gaza Strip since 2007.
I don't think any country would accept such a situation without responding to it.
Unlike America, who killed about 250,000 people in Iraq alone; a million or so in Vietnam? Then there was Germany and Japan in WWII who were responsible for millions of deaths.
I agree America kills many and is always in some kind of war. Though none are declared.
It seems that Egypt continuing to let Hamas import Iranian & Chinese made rockets into Gaza will allow Hamas to continue launching rockets on the civilians/residents of Southern Israel for a long time to come.
