Israel has stated they are at war to the bitter end against Hamas in the Gaza strip. They have been attack by Palestine for years and they are not going to take it anymore. Israel does not want to be taken over by Islamic terrorists. Sometimes war has to be waged to keep freedom and to defend themselves. Negotiations are not the solution to everything.

 ”There are good reasons why initial criticism of Israel has been muted. After all, Israeli population centers in southern Israel have been the target of over 4,000 rockets, as well as thousands of mortar shells, fired by Hamas and other organizations since 2001.1 The majority of those attacks were launched after Israel withdrew completely from the Gaza Strip in August 2005. Indeed, rocket attacks increased by 500 percent (from 179 to 946) from 2005 to 2006.

Moreover, lately Hamas has been extending the range of its striking capability even further with new rockets supplied by Iran. Hamas used a 20.4-kilometer-range Grad/Katyusha for the first time on March 28, 2006, bringing the Israeli city of Ashkelon into range of its rockets for the first time. That change increased the number of Israelis under threat from 200,000 to half a million.2 Moreover, on December 21, 2008, Yuval Diskin, Head of the Israel Security Agency, informed the Israeli government that Hamas had acquired rockets that could reach Ashdod, Kiryat Gat, and even the outskirts of Beersheba.3 The first Grad/Katyusha strike on Ashdod, in fact, took place on December 28. There had been no formal cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, but only an informal six-month tahadiya (lull), during which 215 rockets were launched at Israel.4 On December 21, Hamas unilaterally announced that the tahadiya had ended.”(jcpa.org)

Palestine does not want to settle things peacefully with Israel when they constantly attack even during a “truce.” Israel cannot be expected to settle negotiations with Palestine when Hamas’ actions and charter rejects it.

Also a spokesman in Iran is calling Muslims to all fight against Israel and expand the war. “A group of hardline clerics is signing up volunteers to fight “against the Zionist regime” in the Gaza Strip “in either military, financial or propaganda fields.” This is reported by the semi-official Fars news agency.”(DEBKAfile.com)

I know it’s only pizza, but it still helps and I think it is a cool idea. At Pizzaidf.org you can send pizza and soda to soldiers in combat at the Gaza strip. Sending pizza shows support from around the world to Israel.

“Our project also aids many small business owners here in Israel. This includes directly the pizzerias, burger restaurants, delivery people and the sales staff, and indirectly the tomato growers and the milk producers among many others. As we are taught that the highest form of charity is to help people to work with dignity, with feel, in our small way, we are contributing positively to the overall situation.”(pizzaidf.org)
