    I'm surprised this topic doesn't already exist considering its been the top news story for some time now.

    What is your take on the situation?

    I'm going to reserve my views till I hear from some of you.


    Edit: video added, they are NOT work safe, and do not watch if you don't like seeing kids with shrapnel injuries.

    Before I start: Please know, I am not jewish nor from around israel so I have no Bias.

    I think that israel, like any other countries on earth, should have the right to defend itself. If people who have hated you for years send rockets into New York, California, and Texas, we'd fight back and dominate our foe. Israel's situation however is unique. Because they believe in being "humanitarian" or "pro-life" (no, not abortion whys) they won't go too agressively towards their foe. The ground attack is a fair idea, because it would specifically kill the terrorists- not the civilians.
