If your neighbour continued to throw rocks on to your roof, what would YOU do? Retaliate?

Hamas has continued to fire rockets into Israel and Isreal has retaliated.

Would YOU retaliate?

    Any threat to my family gets a response from me. God help the poor soul who ever thought he could challenge me.

    Of course, we're not talking about rocks, are we?

    We're talking about fully operational military grade munitions that kill people.

    If I were the PM of Israel, I would retaliate after ONE was launched, since that constitutes an attempted murder. I would make them pay for every SINGLE rocket launched. No mercy.

    (There are some people, like Layla below, who think that they can stop violence peacefully. They have never seen war, nor have they faced people bent on murder. They're simple idiots putting others at risk with their altruistic stupidity. Layla is also completely ingnorant of history. She has no idea that the man who founded Hamas, Yasser Arafat, is the same man who founded Black September, and that he was a man who was bent on murdering Jews from his teen years. Hamas was NOT a response to anything Israeli. It was a response to Palestinian racism and violence.)

    The thing that no one every discusses is this: What is the root problem between Israel and Palestine. The problems will never cease until we sit down and talk about the actual problem, not the results of the problem. I agree that if someone threw rocks at my house I might be inclined to throw more than rocks back. But why are the rocks being thrown in the first place.

    Neighbors and Hamas? Not quiet an equal comparison is it.

    Israel has a Right to Defend itself the best they see fit.

    Would I retaliate against my neighbor - I would film them while calling the police. As I am a neighbor and not an entire Country.

    Take video of them throwing rocks and harassing your canines first - whether they're goating the canines by barking and such to get her going - take video so which you have data, then call the police and checklist them and confirm you tell them with regard to the wear to the vehicle too. in case you get them on video throwing rocks at your canines or you automobile, you have some grounds to press some expenditures. as nicely, have your mothers and fathers call them and ask them to quit a minimum of as quickly as first and in the event that they don't comply, call the police. i be conscious of i could want somebody to tell me first previously calling the law enforcement officials on me - AND - in case you do not, the acquaintances might get mad and throw extra rocks or do something else out of spite.

    If you want to use a metaphor, let's get it correct. If you knocked down your neighbour's house to make room for more land for yourself, and the neighbour, who had been forced out, continued to throw rocks onto your roof, would you be justified in killing him?

    The latest news I heard was that Israel targeted a Hamas graduation ceremony for all their new terrorist. Anybody that was attendingthat had it coming.

    Layla is the most delusional poster i've seen on here in a while.

    if the palestinians would drop their weapons there would be no more conflict.

    if Israel dropped their weapons, there would be no more Israel.

    i would be carpet-bombing those motherf*ckers.

    Layla- nice try copying my saying and reversing Israel with palestine.

    you just aren't smart enough to come up with that on your own. shame, really.

    Video him in the act, call the police and tell him he is threating you with physical harm. when the get there, show them the video. If he hits you with one you can sue him for Battery.

    When you and your family are threatened, we (and Israel) have a right to defends ourselves.

    What did the Palestinians expect.......that they could just continue on their destructive rampage with no retaliation ? They lit the powder keg and now they can suffer the consequences. They have made themselves a target.
