These past weeks have shaken up both Israel and the Gaza Strip. It began with the vicious murders of three Israeli teenagers by a number of unknown Palestinian. Yet the violence did not there. Israeli settlers responded with their own vicious attack, a Palestinian teenager was burned alive by a group of unknown Israeli’s. And yet the violence did not end there.
Hamas and or Palestinian operatives have been launching rockets and drones from the Gaza Strip. Israel responds in the way it must; with airstrikes striking locations throughout the Gaza Strip. The balance of death may remain skewed with approximately 150Palestinian’s dead and zero Israeli’s killed. I cannot in good faith say Israel is responsible for this skewed casualty rate
Israel though made up of Jews, whom are an extremely minority in a hostile land, has turned its nation into a desert fortress protected by that technological marvel the Iron Dome. The Iron Dome is quite simply the world’s must advanced missile defense system. With the Iron Dome, Israel is able to neutralize (almost) every missile launched by Hamas in an attack against the Israeli people.
Hamas, the self proclaimed protector of the Palestinian people, wishes to serve its own agenda of Israeli extermination then care for the welfare of the people of Palestine. This is not an opinion but a statement founded in fact, the past 24 hours have made this clear.
Late last night Israel successfully negotiated a cease-fire with the Egyptian Government whom represented the State of Palestine in the negotiations holds influence with Palestinian leaders. Israeli stopped their airstrikes with the understanding that no more missiles will be launched from the Gaza Strip which is under control of the State of Palestine.
Hamas, the militant arm of the State of Palestine, did not get the memo. Attacks against Israel quickly resumed; Israel (rightfully so) ended the cease fire and has resumed military operations in the Gaza Strip. The drums of war now steadily beat. Rumor has it that Israel will soon launch ground operations against Hamas by invading the Gaza Strip.
Israel cannot be condemned for these attacks or the actions it will soon take nor can the State of Palestine itself be blamed. The blood that will soon be shed, will be shed due to the actions of Hamas who would plunge the Gaza Strip into chaos to launch ineffective missiles against Israel.
