Hamas's rockets are not toys. There range is increasing and they do kill Israelis. Anybody who defends Hamas and criticises Israel for taking military action against, well would they have expected the UK to do nothing if the IRA had camped out along the Welsh border and fired rockets into England at any time of their choosing.

shedman, //Othodox Jews don't even recognise it as Israel even to this day.//
That’s misleading. You’re talking about Haredi Jews who make up only 12% of the population of Israel. They are not alone in considering themselves Orthodox.
As unsavoury as it may be for some to acknowledge the Palestinians have a valid grievance. They occupied the land that is now called Israel for over 2000 years and were unceremoniously booted out of their homes in favour of Jewish settlers - and it’s still happening. That said, their objections are futile and in the current political climate I personally would far rather see the Jews in control of that area than anyone else.

I think the conflict is a matter of the combination of cultural traits and a strong sense of history.
If you take a cultural trait involving a tendency to believe that violence in defence of your people is not only right, but actually desireable, and add in a sense of history that has been handed down for generations, you get adults who have grown up hearing daily about the injustices visited on their ancestors by the people in the region next door.
That means a very short step to visiting the kind of violence on them that you have been educated to believe can, and will be visited on you, unless you do something practical to defend the rights of your people.
That - in a simplistic, but none the less valid scenario, encapsulates the conflict in the Middle East.
