The War in Gaza

I am an Israeli student who studies at Kugel High School, Holon. I would like to state my opinion about the war against the Hamas in Gaza.

I support Israel’s decision to attack Hamas in an attempt to stop the missiles they launch towards Israel. I believe that the situation in the attacked areas in Israel is unbearable and has to be stopped. Even though I would normally prefer methods of peace and negotiation to solve such matters, I am fully aware of the fact that this time, we have tried all we could to put an end to the terror by those methods, but did not succeed. Therefore, we have nothing left to do but put an end to this chaos by force.

To sum up, I believe that the war against the Hamas is essential. I find it the only way left for Israel to fulfill it’s duty to protect it’s citizens.
