The State of our State

Usually i write about gadgets and technology in my blog but given the recent events in the country and in particular in the South i have decide to write about "The State of our State".  On wnedsday morning at 5:30 am i was woken up by the sound of the air raid sirens.  Luckly my bedroom is also a bomb shelter so i did not have to go far.  Later that day the sirens went off again as more rockets were fired into Israel.  Then is the afternoon a bomb exploded in the heart of Jerusalem.  I think this situation has got to stop.  I know that this is not a one sided story where we are the victims, but the fighting on both sides has to stop. What bothers me the most is the battle that is taking place in the media.  When we retaliate the media shows only one side of the battle.
There is no other country in the world that would even allow one missile to be fired into there country.  I would like to see how the French would react if a missile was fired into Nice for example. The French would bomb the crap out of any country that sent a missile into one of their cities. The Hamas are firing rockets into cities that are not part of the conflict.  Beer Sheva is not close to Gaza it is not in the West Bank and no military action is being launched from there.  It is the only western country in the world where people have bomb shelters in their homes.
This situation is crazy!!!  It has become part of our daily lives here in Israel and it has got to stop. 
I dont have the perfect solution and i dont think that more violence from either side will solve the problem.  I do think that we need to give them their own country and build a secure boarder (like every other country in the world has).  I think we need to stop supplying them with water and electricity and stop letting them come work here.  They need their own country and even create an army.  That way when the fire missiles into our country it will be an act of war and we will have all the rights in the world to attack. But i think that they like the current situation.  They dont want their own country because this way they have someone to blame for all their problems.  You can not forget that no other country wants the Palestinians.  Lebanon does not want them, neither does Jordan, Syria or Egypt.  The situation is good for everyone because they are used to show how "bad" Israel is.   Once they have their own country they will have no more excuses as to why they can not get their shit together. 
I prefer to write about phones and gadgets but i had to get some things off my chest.
So bye for now and see you soon.
