With all the negative talk about Israel's actions to find the missing soldier, I thought this article was very interesting to show what Israel is dealing with.
This is a government (Hamas) that does not recognize Israel's right to EXIST.
A government that had orchestrated suicide bombings killing women and children.
Israel has to deal with a government comprised of terrorists. Israel recognizes these terrorists as more of a government than these terrorists recognize Israel. Pretty interesting.
Before anyone says that I am completely one-sided, let me just clarify: I think Israel's actions are at times wrong and possibly even murderous. Yet I do have some sympathy and understanding when I see things like this.

Hamas Threatens Israeli Infrastructure
Meanwhile, Hamas's armed wing, Izaddin al-Kassam, on Sunday threatened to attack infrastructure facilities inside Israel, including schools, hospitals and universities. The threat, the first of its kind since Hamas won the parliamentary election last January, was issued in response to continued Israeli military strikes in the Gaza Strip.
"If they continue with these attacks, we will strike at targets in Zionist territory that we have not struck until now," said the organization's spokesman.
Haniyeh, who later inspected the ruins of his office, said the attack would not influence Hamas's standing.
"This is a policy of arrogance that resembles the rule of the jungle," he told reporters. I call on the international community to intervene to stop the Israeli aggression."
Now, should we really deal with the leader of Hamas credibly? Maybe he can teach us about human rights.
