Israeli Response Disproportionate?

The Israeli response is disproportionate? I hear this a lot from the Jew hating Press, European nations and intollerant leftists. The very idea that this attack on Hamas is purely a result of a few misguided rockets is an understandable ignorance perpetuated by the ignorant left and uninformed sheeple.

The fact is, Hamas and Palestine in general has been launching attacks against Israeli civilians for years. In fact, there have been over 1,100 civilian deaths in Israel from Palestine between 2000 and 2007. Click here for Chart

For those of us in America, we must ask if we would show the same restraint if even a dozen of our civilians were being attacked by terrorists on a regular basis from across the border.

The answer should be a resounding, "No". Why then would we ask Israel to restrain itself? And if you consider all the deaths in Israel, innocent men, women and children over the last decade, the deaths done to civilians far outnumbers the deaths currently in Gaza. As of right now, the number of Palestinian deaths is less than half the number of innocent Israelis killed in terror attacks and MOST of the dead are Hamas militants.
