Since they're declaring an end to the ceasefire I'd say israel has every right to return fire.
Considering Israel is the one who took the first aggressive action resulting in the dissolution of the cease fire, the same could be said of the Palestinians.

Umm, no.

The truce has largely held, though Gaza militants have periodically fired rockets into Israel.

No, 8 times out of 10 Israel starts the violence by some absurd god-given-right-to-take-your-land mindset. Or some IDF incursion with the aim to arrest, detain, kill, or more often demolish.

And no your solution is categorically wrong. Who is going to win the battle, those who use Merkava Tanks on civilian apartment buildings (Israel did it, a War Crime), Apache Attack Helicopters on civilian city blocks (Israel did it, a War Crime), as well using cluster bombs on civilians (Israel did it, a War Crime) and shoot-to-kill protesters simply throwing rocks (Israel did it).

Who do you think will win this proposed conflict? Obviously those who use the 120mm Tank Shells, Hellfire Missiles, and 5.56mm bullets on the unarmed civilian populous, those who use military hardware on soft human bodies, Israel will win in a massacre.

No, but you're not going to believe me and I know you're wrong so why are we bothering?

I don't know who would win, especially seeing as the arabs have proven their willing to fire rockets into civilian areas (a war crime), plant bombs in civilian areas (a war crime), hide in their own civilian areas so civilians are killed when israel retaliates (a war crime), use civilian houses to store weapons and hide their terrorists (a war crime).............

...... Israel will win in a massacre.
Good.

This is a great illustration of why Israel is the real underdog. Blame Israel for everything. Well, innocent people wouldn't have to die if the Arabs weren't so hell bent on killing Jews in any wayshape or form. Israel wouldn't have to respond to people firing rockets at it's ciillians, orsending suicide bombers since dayone. None of this conflict has been started by Israel. But the blame Israel first and no matter what people refuse to believe.

Israel did not violate the cease fire. The Arabs did. Anything else is a lie.

If Israel let loose their real might, that would definately end the conflict in a few short days.

It would be GREAT if they would end their fighting. You do understand it takes two people to fight? Not EVERYTHING is the Palestinians fault or Hamas' fault. Right?

I agree that the conflict needs to end. This is almost impossible when you have one viewpoint (or more) that excludes other viewpoints.

How do you argue with extremism? How do you reason with it? You can only abandon it.

Yep. Please tell me exactly how many rockets and bombs is israel expected to take before retaliating. Because you're infantile "it takes two to fight" is bullshit. If someone starts punching me I'm going to punch back. You'd still blame me for being one of the two it took to fight. I'd say you can go screw yourself if you said I shouldn't defend myself.

People punch you because you're an asshole. So they might have punched first but you didn't necessarily "do nothing" to deserve it.

Even with as much of a douche bag as you are, that doesn't give anyone the right to hit you.

Your failure to concede Israel has done ANYTHING to deserve ANYTHING they get from their neighbors shows how out of touch you are with reality.

Your failure to recognize israel is retaliating after being attacked shows how biased and ignorant you are.

Biased? You have Israeli cock in your ass and mouth at the same time. I at least ACKNOWLEDGE that BOTH sides do stupid shit to keep this LONG feud going. Your stupid ass on the other hand doesn't. Talk about ignorant and biased.

I've said many times in this thread that it doesn't matter who is "right" or "wrong" and that we should step back and let them fight it out. You have a problem with that?
