Too many powerful congresscritters who won't allow that to happen, Sen. Feinstein, Sen. Schumer, VP Biden, Sen. Reid, Sen. Lautengerg, and that's not counting the R's that would demand that Pres. Obama back Israel, and lest we forget, the House is R controlled and I suspect a wide margin of Americans would demand that we back Israel, and count me in as a supporter of Israel.

Israel has the absolute right to defend itself, it was Hamas who started firing the rockets first.
I saw a post in a different thread yesterday that described these rockets as bottle rockets and Israel shouldn't retaliate, I guess this puts to bed about these rockets being overrated bottle rockets.
