“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News Sunday guest host Brit Hume that Hamas was embedding its missile capabilities within homes to dare Israel to increase civilian casualties, a challenge he said Israel was intended to best to stop the barrage of missiles on Israeli cities.
“Here’s the difference between us,” Netanyahu said. “We’re using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they’re using their civilians to protect their missiles.”
“I just want your viewers to imagine the United States being bombarded not in one city or two cities, but in every city between New York and Colorado,” Netanyahu said. “80% of your citizens would have to be in bomb shelters or ready to go into bomb shelters within a minute to minute-and-a-half, max.

I agree 100% in fact why don’t we send troops to help the Palestinians fight the Israeli terrorists? One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighters The Palestinians are in my minds eye the freedom fighters Peace!!
Essentially, Israel wants complete control–i.e. absolute power–over Palestine. “Power tends to corrupt; absolute power”…you know the rest.
The ratio of 1700 to 0 is actually more than fair. Clearly, 1700 Palestinians equal LESS THAN zero Israelis. THAT is what Neten-yahoo is saying.
