  • If you're referring to Hamas, people in that region have been launching hundreds of rockets into Israel. Hamas has a habit of blending into (as in, hiding behind) the civilian population, making it difficult or impossible to distinguish between someone who is militant and a bystander. Israel's response may have been heavy-handed but when you're surrounded by countries who'd love to see you completely destroyed, that tends to happen. I doubt any country in the world would have simply stood by and allowed its neighbors to continually launch attacks against their population on any level.
  • They "get away" with it because it's legally and morally justified.
  • The fighting has been going back and forth for thousands of years.
  • There are not very many countries interested in "policing" the rest of the world, and if there were, they would have clamped down on the Palestinians a long time ago for constantly violating the cease fire they agreed to in the first place.
  • Zionism is evil. The Palestinian holocaust in front of numerous blided eyes around the globe. My 2 cents.
  • Unfortunately in the US there has been a great deal of denial about the situation in Palestine. Perhaps now the Israelis have used phosphorus bombs on children in a UN-run school, that might change the general perception in the US. The situation with the Palestinians has been dragging on for years, years of suffering, and it is a disgrace to humanity. I hope that now Obama is president, Americans might become more aware of what is happening over there, and will not give such unqualified support to what is, despite the justifications, a brutal regime.
  • The same way that the US gets away with what they've done to the Iraqis. One day, however, it's all gonna catch up to them and it won't be pretty
  • There are too many people here in the states who would oppose the U.S. seriously intervening yo...
  • They have a powerful ally in the U.N., the U.S.A.
  • I don't care who's right and who's wrong, the blatant slaughter of civilians has to stop. U.N. Peacekeepers, where are you? Can we just shoot that parcel of land into space and rehome everybody or something? It's never going to end!
  • How do Arab countries get away with what they have done to the Palestinians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_in_Jordan) and their own people (despotism, corruption, economic incompetence)? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5281598
  • It's quite simple: The Palestinians are reaping what they've been sowing for 60 years. http://www.masada2000.org/historical.html
