I apologize for the blackout. I have (baruch Hashem) been recovering from the surgery.I have been watching the unfolding of events in Israel with a furrowed brow.
It is laughable that there are those who would criticize Israel for it's measured action against her enemies. The "Palestinians" have been reaping what they have sown. They invited terrorists to rule them and now they must pay the price for their actions. Sovereign governments must behave responsibly and when they revert to barbarism they must be met with war. Kidnapping is the ultimate cowardly and barbaric act. The "Palestinian" government needs to be held accountable. As for the poor civilians, see HERE.
Jewish blood is not cheap and the Jewish nation will not sit idly by as one of her sons is stolen from his land.
That being said, Israel needs to take a step back and look at itself. It is time to protect its people and clean house: see HERE.
For those modertae Arab governments... Israel's "friends," see HERE
As for Israel's actions in Gaza, I say kol hakavod.
No negotiations. No discussion. No peace.
Please daven for our brother held in captivity: Gilad Ben Aviva

I a agree that the Palestinians were totally out of line in capturing the Israeli soldier.
However, in war ("just war theory") there is such a thing as a proportional response. This it seems is what Israel manages to get wrong. Why for instance does Israel demolish the home of an entire family when someone from that family turns out to have committed some terrorist act ?
Some people have used the expression "collective punishment". When Israel destroyed the power plant i read that over 700,000 people were left without electricity. Is that fair ? These are a poor people so repairing a power plant is not going to be easy for them.
Also military action inside Gaza is costing civilian lives. How many Palestinians is it acceptable to kill for the life of one Israeli soldier ? All this is not going to win hearts and minds , is it ? Palestinian hatred is not so surprising under such circumstances. It's time for Israel to start making friends not ennemies.
