re: Israeli force kills 4 children in Gaza

I'm admittedly no expert but I have read a bit on the zionist movement and the establishment and history of the country of Israel.

The Arabs that surround them have been seeking the extermination of the country pretty much since its inception. If they had their way the whole people would be pushed into the sea.

If they want to even survive it seems to me that Israel really has no choice except to maintain and use a robust defense and react vigorously to outright attacks like these extensive launching of rockets into their territory.

I think they learned their lesson after the Russian pogroms and the German final solution that being the victim is not really the way to go.
