Thank you Anonymous. The great majority of Israleis support this assualt, not realizing how horrible and counterproductive it is. For the most part they do not want Gazans to be hurt and feel sorry for the casualties and the wounded certainly my dad, who is an extraordinarily humane person and has a friend in Gaza , but they have been taught that violence is the only way and accept it. This attack comes after several years of southern Israel being bombed from within the strip. The bombing is consistant but hits are rare.
