Hamas has been shooting rockets into Israel, breaking the cease-fire agreement. Israel has retaliated, killing far more Palestinian civilians than Hamas has killed Israeli civilians.

No one is right when innocent people die. Let's just answer the question with our opinions.

Who's right?

Muslims are like a cancer on the world that keeps spreading. I hope the Israelis make bitches out of them once again and teaches them a lesson that they won't forget. It is always sad to see kids get in the way and the outlook for the middle east is continuing to worsen due to that horrible cult they call a religion that makes people hell bent on disrupting other peoples lives or worse by killing them.

I am sure that it will continue to be a problem in the future. The problem is that we are faced with two choices. Leave them alone and suffer more attacks as they grow stronger, or bomb them back to the stone age so they can't do anything else. I vote for the second choice personally. I don't want any more people in my country, the US or anywhere in Europe to die because of Muslims.

If you hit hard they are less likely to attack again. You don't win wars by being nice....

I guess Christmas really is over for you, eh?

Where's the neither option?

I would have to go with neither as well.

Though I guess its better today than in a few years when the rockets being fired over the border from Gaza contain biological or chemical munitions and the retaliation from Israel leaves the world truly shocked.

If both states cant live in peace then maybe Egypt should take over Gaza and just return it to a pre 1967 position and maybe the West Bank could join with Jordan.

Both areas seem to small to be economically strong and its difficult to see how they could join as one country with a huge slice of Israel separating them. Its possible that the same thing that happened between West Pakistan and East Pakistan will occur and both will become a separate state.

Is difficult to understand why the world seems to believe that Israel must continue to trade with Gaza or have supplies sent through thier borders. It might be better for all if a UN neutal member state took over the access point between Gaza and Egypt and made sure that all products, electricity supply was checked according to the UN standards as well as taking over control of Gaza's airspace and sea lanes until they come to some sort of agreement that will stay at peace.

It seems rather strange to me as a neutral observer that the CNN map shows West Bank as a different color than Israel while marking Gaza with the same color as Israel but just a line demarcating it.

You would think that occupation seems a bit strong a word for a region with its own Government, Police, Army. terrorist allies. There are many other countries that would love that, the Tamil tgers of Sri Lanka are not considered occupied and yet they have less assistance and stability than Gaza.

I guess its easier to focus on Israel vs Gaza then Sri Lanka vs the Tamils. Both have on going wars and violence against them.

A third option in the poll is missing. Both are as bad as each other, as several others have already implied.

There is a third party who arguably takes most of the blame:
