A solution to Hamas vs. Israeli bombs

Posted February 03, 2009 10:00 pm

Israel is being attacked in the press, especially by the Europeans, for Israel's supposed "overreaction" to Hamas's rocket attacks. Then I propose that as Hamas lobs their daily allotment of rockets, then Israel can lob an equal amount back into Gaza. However, this does brings up another problem. Israel's rockets are of a better quality, so, again, it would be attacked as not being "fair." Well, perhaps Israel can sell some of their high quality rockets to Hamas so that it would be more "fair." Now comes the question of who would pay for these rockets. Hamas should buy its own rockets. Again, we run into the fairness issue. Hamas is very poor and may not have the money, although they never seem to run out of bullets, bombs and such. I've got it: Israel should loan Hamas the money to purchase the rockets. Here is a deal that would bring tears of joy to the United Nations.
