I stand strongly with the staunchest American allies in the Middle East. Regardless if I believe the Israeli response to the constant missile attacks by Hamas from Gaza is proportional or not, there is no doubt in my mind that a response was necessary.
A country cannot allow a group like Hamas to barrage it's citizenry with missiles over and over with no response. And there is no doubt about the fact that it was Hamas that broke the cease fire agreement. That's just a fact.
As long as the Palestinian people allow Hamas to speak for them as a People, as long as Hamas is the elected representative body for the Palestinian Peoples, the people who will suffer most will be the Palestinians.
