I think the Government of Israel has a very hard time when rockets are being fired at their country. What are they supposed to do, just sit there and let it happen?

I don't think she's saying that at all. I think she's pointing out that in Israel there are many Palestinians, living and working alongside Jews. She doesn't seem to have any problem with that at all. She then goes on to say that this way forward is not happening in Palestine.

It's true.

I'm not trying to twist her words. I agree with much of what she has to say. What you are stating is your interpetation of her words, not her words as fact.

And tell me, if Gaza did eventually come under Israel, and Arab and Jew were working, living and loving alongside one another, as they already are in some parts of Israel, would that be a bad thing? Or is it better to have Gaza forever filled with Hamas and their utter hatred of all Jews, alongside their desire to have their own people killed and maimed, and their wish to annihilate the State of Israel?

Personally, I'd far rather see people living in peace and harmony. The Israelis are already doing this with Palestinians. Look back at my post about Aliza Hava, look at the thread on the Peace Oil products which are produced in Israel by both Arab and Jew combined.

Together is the way forward, not apart.

Until Hamas can see that, there is nothing Israel can do but continue to protect the people within her borders. To do that, she has to stop the rockets from being fired...and to do THAT, she has to target where they are coming from, and of course, the wonderful leaders of Palestine have placed their rockets all around their people.

HOW can you possibly deal with people who are not just hellbent on killing their 'enemy' but on killing their own people too?
