I think that author of the letter on "Israeli Aggression" may have the right idea. After all, how important is the life of one soldier? Using the author’s logic that invasion of your country by a terrorist group is not important, why is the United States spending lives and treasure fighting the terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan? Just as we recognize that the life of every soldier and civilian of the United States is very important, why shouldn't Israel?
Regarding Israel response to consistent attacks by terrorist groups from Gaza and the West Bank, I maintain that they are justified and necessary to protect Israeli citizens. If the "innocent" Palestinian citizens want peace, they can eliminate the terrorist thugs within their cities and villages by cooperating with the moderate authorities trying to get rid of them. As long as the citizens of Gaza and the West Bank continue to harbor suicide bombers and rocket firings, they are vulnerable to retaliation by Israel. I am sorry that "innocent" lives are being harmed by the Israeli response, but if there were no suicide bombers or rocket firings, there would be no Israeli response.
