Townhall.com::Living in Terror::By Fred Thompson:

"Let me ask you a hypothetical question. What do you think America would do if
Canadian soldiers were firing dozens of missiles every day into Buffalo, N.Y.?
What do you think our response would be if Mexican troops for two years had
launched daily rocket attacks on San Diego -- and bragged about it?
I can
tell you, our response would look nothing like Israel's restrained and pinpoint
reactions to daily missile attacks from Gaza. We would use whatever means
necessary to win the war. There would likely be numerous casualties on our
enemy's side, but we would rightfully hold those who attacked us responsible. "


For me I changed my opinion on this after the Gaza pull out. For the first time the Palestinians were given land of their own. Granted it is a small space and it has its problems, some of which can be pinned on Israel. However, once they got this land, did they go about attempting to create a peaceful prosperous place for the citizens to live in. No they immediately used this to increase its offensive against Israel proper. Gaza has not become the base for a larger state for Palestinians, but a base for larger attacks on Israel. There are facts that are certain in this world, and I think that one of them is that Israel has the right to exist. The only question I see that the Palestinians have to ask themselves is if they want to live with Israel peacefully or not. It looks like those with the power right now, are choosing not.
