Israel vs Hamas

I chose to write about the story in New York Times newspaper, “As Talks Falter, Israel warns of more extensive attacks”. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/world/middleeast/11mideast.html?ref=todayspaper

Its day nineteen of Israel’s attack on the Gaza strip and the world is begging for a cease fire from Israel, but the funny thing is Israel didn’t start this fight, hell Israel did almost everything it could to avoid fighting and when those options failed Israel attacked. Now before I can go into the story that I read in today’s New York Times paper, I must make sure you know how all of this started in this part of the world. Now no I don’t have any citations to give you for all of this all I can say is that I got this from the news and what I didn’t see on the news I got from what my father knows about what’s going on. Israel Is at war with Hamas because before Israel went to war with Hamas, Hamas was lobbing missiles into well populated areas of Israel, Israel had been warning them since not only with words but with action, such as shutting off power in the Gaza strip. But still Hamas bombarded Israel with more missile fire. S Israel to the last option it had left and invaded the Gaza Strip. Now yes Israel has trained soldiers, unlike Hamas, and has weapons that or more highly advanced, but it’s not like they just decide to invade a country with out a purpose. Well because Israel’s military force is after a terrorist organization that doesn’t amount up to Israel the Egypt, Jordan and other country’s are trying to convince Israel to sign a cease fire, but Israel is refusing because they know that a signed piece of paper isn’t going to stop Hamas, because in 2006 Israel once again was at war with Hamas and now look what’s happening. The main thing that is compelling these countries’s to try to stop Israel is because many civilians are being killed. The numbers reported in the New York Times is 820 dead. But Israel has been sending out messages telling civilians to evacuate certain towns before they attack, through methods of dropping leaflets and sending out massive voicemail messages. So, who’s the bad guy in this fight?
