Israel and Gaza

While I have tried to stay away from vocalizing my opinions about this current round of violence I find my silence and tolerance of stupid people and their comments wearing out.
I do not support Israel, nor do I support Hamas. I find both to be equally trying and failing at deceiving the World of their true nature. Both Hamas and Israel are religious to the point of intolerance and yet if you were to take a citizen of Israel and a citizen of Gaza and strip them of all identifying markers they would be exactly the same. HUMANS!
A comment made by an elderly Israeli "I survived Hitler, Hamas doesn't scare me" (Al-Monitor). Without reading the article I have already formed a rather negative opinion, and to this Israeli I would ask how many other people have survived the Holocaust and put up with bullshit everyday. The state of Israel only exists because the USA and Great Britain wanted to save their faces about having sent Jews and others back to the Nazi occupied areas, now for political reason they still support Israel. You wouldn't have to put up with this shelling if perhaps some members of the early Israel government had perhaps followed through with the suggestion of putting the Jewish state in the USA, in Montana! Nobody lives in Montana anyway. So to this old Israeli I say Hamas doesn't scare you because you have become Hitler, just look at all the settlements built, and the behavior of locking down the Palestinians behind walls. If this isn't a new Holocaust, what is?

Plenty will scream about the right to defend oneself as is the usual argument for Israel's behavior, but their comes a point when defending turns into attacking. If 3 rockets fall and kill 1 maybe 2 people write it off. Going into Gaza with tanks chasing Nissan Sentra's up and down the street while blowing up a hospital (rockets or no rockets) creates a bigger problem than before. The number of Israeli's who died has not even gotten to 20 and all are soldiers. The number of Palestinian deaths is over 500, and mostly innocent people. Which is part of the problem; groups like Hamas want you to kill the innocents because this creates more fighters and group members. With Israel being one of the most technologically advanced states in the world when it comes to intelligence and military they could come up with a way of better targeting.
