Israel takes on Hamas

Well, the conflict in the Middle East has escalated between Israel and the Islamic terrorist group Hamas. The terrorist organization began firing missiles into Israeli territory from the Gaza strip in late December and the Israeli's responded by launching attacks on Hamas targets. This past week, Israel launched a ground offensive to rout out Hamas in Gaza.

There has been much opposition to the Israeli offensive against Hamas, but it should be noted that Israel is targeting ONLY Hamas and not civilians, as Hamas has done in the past. Furthermore, Israel allows daily shipments of aid into the Gaza strip. Hamas is a terrorist organization and must be removed from the Palestinian settlements in Gaza. This is not a conflict between two countries. This is a conflict between a sovereign country and a non-state actor. Support Israel and the Global War or Terror.
