Nobody here is saying that Israel doesn’t have the right to defend themselves. They absolutely do.

HOWEVER, that response should be handled carefully precisely because Gaza lacks the firepower that Israel has. It would be very easy for the Israeli government to do what Gilad Sharon suggests and wipe Gaza off the map. They have the weapons and the organization and the power advantage.

Yes, Hamas sucks. Yes, they’re fanatics and warlords and they hurt innocent people on both sides. But the answer to their extremism isn’t destroying entire neighborhoods regardless of who lives there or obliterating all of the infrastructure in Gaza. That’s not right. At ALL.
