Israel MUST defend itself now, it will be devastating response yet I/we cannot forget innocent Palestinians in GAZA; there will be innocent people in rubble after Israel responds; Hamas militants hide

among civilians in Gaza and use civilians as human shields; I stand with Israel but my heart grieves for innocent on all sides, I want Israel to avoid civilian casualties, try hard! Please Israel, TRY

‘The difference though is that Hamas took the lives of and kidnapped women and children on purpose, while Israel is not purposefully targeting these people.’

Let us do all we could to limit loss of life, of women, children, of innocent people, both sides. Let us find the way to resolve this now, but I cannot lie, I do understand why Israel must do what it has to do next. You would too. This is kind of like Israel’s 911. This is horrible and devastating.

Those who rejoice and cheer at Israel’s pain are filthy sick people, sick in the head, those who joke about this. There must never been laughter when there is death, either side.

What HAMAS did here cannot be justified.
