Here's a fantastic column on why Israel has to do what it is now doing. Read it, and make it available to folks you know who need some education on the truth.

A couple of things that really bug me about the situation. Egypt has a border with Gaza, and Egypt keeps it mostly closed. Why was Israel the only one being vilified for keeping their border closed? If it's really all about oppression, shouldn't Hamas send rockets into Egypt, too? But it's not about oppression, it's about hate. It's obvious that Hamas cares far more about killing Jews than living peacefully or saving the lives of their own people. Anyway, read the column, he's got major points that I'm not bringing up right now.
