>Do you feel anyone here has an obligation to race onto the UT and post a diatribe against Israel every time they retaliate against Hamas? You seem to have concluded that nobody is bothered by the current offensive -- which their Prime Minister called "an all-out war" today -- because nobody posted about it. The attacks have been condemned by the UN and many individual governments, including the U.S. I suspect many agree with me that Israel has overreacted.

You put your own feelings a bit ahead of real events. U.S. government did not condemn Israeli strikes, even UN didn't make any statements yet.

>That said, Israel has reason to be aggressive. Hamas is a terrorist organization with the avowed purpose of destroying Israel. You aren't going to find a lot of sympathy for them. The sympathy has been for innocent civilians, and as Neil already said, Hamas made the decision to remain in civilian areas while attacking Israel. That is hardly honorable.
