"land for peace" was the phrase. "land for peace" was the headline for many a newspaper around the world. Pressured by the US and others Israel pulled out of the Gaza strip. Israel knew what was bound to happen and everyone else who knew the ugly truth about the middle east conflict. The little strip of land in Gaza turned into a boiling over volcano of venomous hate led by the terror group Hamas. Rockets and the threat of them was a daily fear for Israeli citizens and now Israel fanilly has had enough. Just imagine living in Texas and all of a sudden a missle from Mexico obliverates the Alamo?or you live in Cleveland Ohio and then the building you are in gets hit by a missle from canada?? what is happening now in Gaza is on the shoulders of Hamas because of their intentional attacks with rockets agenst Israel. At the root of all this is the hate for all who do not hold to the radical islamic views that Hamas has. Even fellow Muslums are targets (look at the Sunni/Sheiite conflict) Israel is on the frount lines in a fight not only for its citizens right to live on their own land in peace but the whole world to live free. The very forces who want Israel "wiped off the map" want all who disagree with their views to go as well.My heart goes out to all in this terrible conflict and it will be very interesting to see how the new administration handles it.
