Do you think Israel should show more restraint in the current crisis because let's face it, there has been disproportionate use of violence and force by the Israelis and the Millitary Action is counter producive.It is causing untold carnage,destruction, trauma on innocent children, starvation, fear and is puhsing moderate palestinians to the edge.

Not that support the actions of Hammas, as a matter of fact I not only detest and do not recognise them, I hold them responsbile for the suffering of the citizens of Gaza they are nothing but silly hypocritical Terrorists.
But Hammas are trying to dupe the world into getting International sympathy by using ordinary Palestinians as human shields or trying to invite Israeli Agression to stir resentment,push moderate palestinians towards extremism which only serves their cause and gives them legitimacyand so far Israel seems to be playing according to thier script.
Finally, I support Israel's right to existence and right to defend herself, but the thier current strategy is not only counter-productive but creates an environment for an endless pool of Hammas recruits and will not produce the long term results that Israel desires.
Nairalanders what do you think?
(for extemists pls remember that you are Nigerians not Israelis or Palestinians)

No. Israeli leaders are only carrying out their constitutional responsibility, defending their citizens from the rockets emanating from hamaz (which by ideology and nature is a violent organization committed to the extermination of Israel).

Those guys fired more than 300 rockets into Israel without any particular target. That to me is an act of aggression and i know how our past president (Gen Sani Abacha) will respond to that. The last time i checked, the purpose of war is to affect maximum destruction to your enemies. Restraint is not a language of war, ask Gowon and he will tell you thesame thing.

isreal should protect innocent gazans
