These people are not morons, in fact many are highly educated. The fact that they are now thinking this way, to me demonstrates how far Israel has gone in its aggression and oppression of the Palestinians for people to start feeling this way.

Well, if I were in one of the Israeli towns and subjected to constant rocket attacks I would be pretty irate that my will to defend myself would invoke such mean-spirited remarks.
They don't need to use the Holocaust as justification for a invasion of Gaza. Hamas, the elected government of Gaza, have been firing rockets into Israel for years. They put up a blockade and this was considered oppression, and now they have overacted and they need to be stopped. However, they have the right to exist and defend themselves.
I am at a loss at what you think Israel should do other than sit there and take the rockets, any relitation would be considered unfair?
