Terrorist attacks by Hamas and its murderous allies against Israel last Thursday were totally unprovoked and, as usual, targeted civilians.
Israel has the right to defend itself — and Israel’s response has been very measured. Israel gave the terrorists a chance to calm the situation; instead the terrorists continued firing scores of rockets at Israeli civilians.
The international community should cut off ties with Hamas, a terrorist organization that receives money and weapons from Iran and is committed to destroying Israel.
Additionally, the international community should oppose the Palestinian unilateral bid for statehood backed by the United Nations and urge the Palestinians to return to unconditional peace talks with Israel.
