Israeli ‘restraint’
From Steve Lyons
Cave Junction
Israel embarked upon an air and ground war against Gaza militants on Dec. 27 to stop the rocket fire that has traumatized southern Israel for years.
The spiraling Palestinian death toll, which includes hundreds of civilians, is due mainly to the cowardly tactics of Hamas. They launch from homes, schools and even mosques.
Imagine Mexico or Canada sending missiles at us. How long would my country stand for that? What restraint they have shown.
