[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1371693, member: 14668"] Israel once occupied Gaza, but they gave it back. Israel once occupied the Sinai, but they gave it back. Israel once occupied the West Bank, but they gave it back. Israel once occupied southern Lebanon, but they gave it back. Israel keeps giving up territory, and Hamas keeps occupying it and using it as a base of operations to launch further attacks against Israel. Hamas's position is that Israel has no right to exist and that terrorist attacks against civilians are an acceptable strategy. There is no basis for negotiation with an adversary that takes such a position against you. There isn't anything to discuss. There is only so much territory that Israel can withdraw from before some sort of line in the sand needs to be drawn, and it looks like they have drawn it. Israel places the lives of its own pilots in danger by dropping leaflets and warning civilians of the time and location of impending air attacks against Hamas in order to minimize civilian casualties. Does Hamas show the same level of restraint when it launches indiscriminate rocket attacks against Israeli cities? I'm not saying Israel is 100% in the right but I don't see what alternatives they have. [/QUOTE]
