Some of these points are good, but the examples of New Jersey vs New York only work in the sense of proximity.

The fact is that this conflict has been going on for a while and so it is fairly difficult to determine ‘who started it’.

More interesting, from a lawyer, would be a look at international law and what it has to say on specific actions on both sides of the fence.

one mistake doesn´t justifies another. it doesn´t matters what happens in WWI, WWII, the genocide against the jews, it has nothing to do with this attack against civilians.

it´s a cheap excuse for this military demonstration. the United States is still paying a high price for stupid wars, that turned civilians against them. you bomb them, and the innocents will become the terrorists that will tear yout life apart in the future, destroying everything that matters for you. you create the terrorists.

VERY GOOD,ISRAEL SHOULD DO ALOT MORE ANTIPROPAGANDA, FOR THE MUSLIM FALSE ADDS, BECAUSE THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY ALL OVER THE WORLD DOESN’T KNOW THE REAL SITUATION, THEY ONLY SEE THE POOR CHILDREN AND WOMEN WITHOUT FOOD AND WITHOUT MEDICAL HELP,BUT THE REASON WE KNOW, THE TERRORISTS ARE HIDING IN THE HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS, AND KILING OUR TROUPS, SO WE HAVE NO CHOICE, BUT TO SHOOT BACK, IN ORDER TO DEFEND OURSELF.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, BUT MORE OFTEN,SO MORE PEOPLE WILL KNOW !!!!!

There is this terrible presupposition that Benjamin Brafman that is “Israel got into this with a clean slate”. That the palestinians just got pissed with Israel for no reason at all and starting raining Israel with rockets out of their sheer evil.
Jon stewart put it in a little light if someone took over my apartment and forced me to live in the hallway and made me go thru check points to get my food and bathroom, would I have any justifiable cause for irrational acts?
Israel has every right to statehood and the accompanying right to self defense, however if that state is founded at the expense of someone with equal rights, there is hardly any cause for surprise if their rights are continually challenged.
How does Benjamin expect the civilians in Gaza to react ?
embrace the force that stands between their food and bathroom or the pressure that seeks to relieve their discomfort?
It should be clear to any Israeli that in the end some accommodation will be needed if ever Israeli seeks peace with the depraved, As long as so many outside Israel can lay claim to ever owning a house or piece of land in Israel, Mr Brafman should expect a legal or some other challenge to his perceived rights.
