Not completely agreeing or disagreeing.
Israel's borders are a subject of much debate. It's true that no one thinks that they include Iran.
Iran will be very hard to defeat. I suspect they have an anti-missile system. I don't think they export terrorism, they do support Hezbollah, but it's not the same as Al Qaeda or even Hamas of yore.
It's not conspiracy theory to say that China and Russia will both back Iran. Both superpowers are very worried at the prospect of a western controlled central asia. China announced in 2001, very publically that it would defend Iran if she were attacked. They stopped short of saying that they would send chinese troops, or provide nuclear missiles to Iran, but I suspect the Iranians already have the nukes.

The truce was broken BY ISRAEL in November.
Gaza truce broken as Israeli raid kills six Hamas gunmen

You don't consider a 250m tunnel going into israel, designed to capture israeli soldiers an act of agression?
It's true though, Israel's attack on this tunnel really kicked things off, numerous rocket and mortar attacks on israel in the weeks following, and occasional Israeli retalliations of course. One can see a real lull and slowdown in hostilities in the months before this:

el_in_2008
See the month of october - only one rocket fired into israel with no civilian injuries or deaths.
But then israel kills 6 hamas fighters (arguably engaged in an act of war), and hundreds of rocket attacks on israel ensue. You still accredit no complicity to hamas in these attacks rue?

No.
Or if that's not clear enough - not in the least.

Geezer
You can't accuse Hamas of breaking a truce in April when it didn't exist until June. Furthermore, the truce agreed to in June was broken in BY ISRAEL, which is a fact. Finally, Israel is not claiming they are responding to what happened in April, which makes that a moot point.

But I'm not, just noting that Hamas has fired rockets into Israel prior to the June truce. I don't particularly care who broke the truce, since both sides have broken truces at will, and will probably continue to do so.
I'm saying that Hamas started firing rockets into Israel early in the latest conflict. I have provided a quote by a Hamas spokesman verifying this, which should make it pretty much indisputable. For some reason you continue to ignore this statement and insist that Hamas has fired no rockets.

"In Gaza, a Hamas spokesman, Fawzi Barhoum, said the group had fired rockets out of Gaza as a "response to Israel's massive breach of the truce"."
Do you not believe the Hamas spokesman?

Geezer - the question is who broke the truce. The answer was that it was Israel. What happened before the truce was in place, or after Israel broke it is not the issue.
Hamas is allowed to defend itself from Israeli aggression.

I am very surprised by that - that seems more "Rueptor" than Rue.

"Rue - I'm talking about this instance too. It's interwoven with so many other instances of violence though, from both sides, that how can you separate it?"
In the question of international response, one has to make determinations. There was a truce in place. Israel broke it. Hamas responded to that breach. Israel cannot NOW claim self-defense, b/c, as childish as this sounds, they started it.

I don't hate Jews. I don't hate Palestinians.
Israel broke the truce. That is aggression. Deal with it. Or not. I really don't care about you or what you think.
