well if your "god" promised you land and ensured that you were "the chosen people" then i guess you feel an entitlement [/quote]

Self defense is not murder.[/quote]

It's not self defense if you caused the war.

This confirms both the Gazans complaint about being starved out, as well as pointing out that the new post-coup Egyptian government colluded with Israel to create the conditions.  Lastly it says that the US believed this incident to not be directed by Hamas and that Israel's own intelligence warned that their response could precipitate the backlash:

Unexpected candor from the Wall Street Journal.

Neither the US,  Israel,  nor Egypt forced Hamas to shoot 1000s of missiles at civilians in Israel.  That's what started this war.  Why Israel chose the timing of her response  doesn't really matter.  Regardless of how you think Israel handled the response,  Hamas started the war. And Egypt destroyed smuggling tunnels under its own land and declining to have a relationship with a group it considers to be against its national interest,  is also their prerogative and not instigation of war.

No.  The missiles were a retaliation.  You do not get to arbitrarily erase the events that preceded it. I'm tired of the narrative that these missiles just started firing off out of the blue, when we all read the papers for two weeks about what was going on beforehand and you have additional information in front of you.[/quote]
