At the highest levels of government this week, there was debate over whether Israel should or has the right to fire back at rocket launchers in Gaza, even when those launchers are located in the heart of civilian areas. Ministers such as Haim Ramon argued that Israel has such a right, while legal authorities reportedly argued that such responses might be illegal under international law.

What the hell happened to the Israel that I used to know?  The Isreal that kicked the collective asses of three quarters of the middle east in a week.....the Isreal that had the reluctant respect of most of the civilized world, and had the uncivilized world cowering in fear......?

Send in the tanks, flatten Gaza and send them packing. Let one of the other Arab nations give them a state.

Problem solved.
