A little more perspective. Gaza is about 175 square miles and contains some 1.8 million inhabitants -- that's about 10,000 per square mile, the equal of any major city in the world in size and density. It is also basically walled off and blockaded anywhere you turn. In addition, it is heavily populated with people who have already provided rationalizations for violence. I understand the reasons this was done, and Israel's security needs, but there is no way this is anything other than a stick of dynamite with a lit fuse. All parties involved have to come up with something better. Hamas, IDF -- unshoulder your weapons and deal with this impossible situation. To my country (the US), the EU, and all surrounding nations: all must be involved in unweaving this most interlocking and tangled of webs before catastrophe happens.
