I'm very late to this thread, and new to the longer issues in/around Israel. My question was going to be that Israel was hit by 8,000 (or was it 5,000?) missiles last year.

I dont know what the death toll was in Israel last year. Does it even matter? No wonder Isreal have had enough.

So my question was going to be what option does Israel have?

And i cant believe (OK, i can believe but i am still dissappointed) that the United Nations have asked Isreal to stop? Where were the UN all of last year?

I dont know whose right or wrong. But i find it hard to belive isreal has been asked to stop after having to put with with missiles everday.

If your looking for humour in the situation. The UN met for many hours today to discuss the latest developments (like this cropped up over night) and they couldnt even agree on the wording of a press release (yikes!).
