  1. This is a conflict that never would have arisen if Israeli had not allowed arab invaders to occupy Aza.

  2. The problem is Israel's political upheaval, the contest between the democratically elected government, and the self appointing courts and the elites they keep in power. Shebak and Mossad were too busy illegally surveilling politicians on the right, in an attempt to find something they could use for blackmail, to bother with keeping tabs on Hamas.

  3. What "their own land"? Aza was always a part of Israel, until Egyptians invaded.

  4.  @osric1730  The US has satellite intelligence, that Israel lacks. But, this would not be the first time US satellite images showed an Arab build up, and the US didn't warn Israel.

  5. Also believing your allies too much. A junior member of the House went to Egypt then Israel, and reassured the Israelis that Egypt had no intention of attacking. That man's name was Joseph R. Biden.

  6. First, the area is called Judea and Samaria. Second, the occupiers are the Arabs, not the native people, the Jews. If it is any Israeli's fault that Hamas struck, it is Sharon's, for withdrawing from the Jewish land of Gaza, forcing families from their homes, so that Arab invaders could take over.
