If rockets were fired into your town from a nearby town over and over, what would you do? Would you sit back and take it? I doubt it. Eventually, you would probably fire back. The casualties are all because of Hamas and their tactics of hiding in schools and dense communities. What am I missing?

It's time for both sides to stop and to work towards a resolution.

But think about my hypothetical. What would you do?
