Hi, yes, I can't dispute that argument. My main point is that Israel isn't doing this as part of a coalition. And though it would be EXACTLY what the U.S. would do, Israel is not the U.S. It does not have that super-power privilege. I've read no good argument against waiting. Further, the history you describe is history not exactly bragged about. Americans still believe GIs free the concentration camps and only shot at people who shot at them.
I've always stood by Israel. But I don't stand with her now. Again, all your logic is 110%. But it is not what God tells me should be done. Gaza is Israel's responsibility, like it or not. Again, 110% not fair. But that's what Jewish People should always keep in mind, lest they get ahead of themselves ;) They must act 110% BETTER than everyone else. Not ape others' amoral ways.
