Your country is attacked, your citizens killed, mutilated and kidnapped. Anyone would agree this country has a right to defend and avenge itself.

The calls for a ceasefire immediately after this event are cowardly and ludicrous. It is similar to a man facing two men, shoots one dead, then immedi- ately drops his weapon and attempts to surrender.

Reject the misinformation being spewed by Hamas. Defend Israel.
