And these ‘reduced numbers’ are OK? The numbers of Palestinians killed in ANY conflict with Israel is always exponentially higher, and destructive to women and children. The Zionist expansion of settlements, apartheid system with regard to Palestinians, and rejection of a two state solution, has only served to foster grief, resentment and hostility for generations. Where does it end? ‘We are creating enemies faster than we can kill them’ the saying goes.

Absolutely, and that is why this war is the solution to nothing. It will only foster more armed resistance. Some new terrorist networks will pop up to replace Hamas.

The only sustainable solution to this problem is to give the Palestinians something to live for, a land of their own.

Betty, the Palestinians/Gazans/Arabs have been given that option repeatedly over the past 75 years always with the same outcome, the relentless effort by their political leaders to destroy Israel (e.g.- by digging extensive tunnels, creating military "bases" in schools & hospitals rather than use the resources to build the physical, administrative and political infrastructure necessary for any viable "country."

Let's see, Heather, that would be 24,686 Palestinians (Gazans?) dead rather than 34,000? A poignant question indeed about "reduced numbers" dead being OK!
