Israel Must Ease up on Gaza

I have long been a supporter of Israel's right to exist. Archaeology and DNA clearly shows that the Jewish people are indigenous descendants of the culture that inhabited that land, and archaologists such as Israel Finkelstein have made an irrefutable case.

But the recent carnage in Gaza is just too much. Razing a refugee camp and firing on protesters is just not called for. I know Israel needs to ensure its security, but there has to be a better way than this. Sharon should press the disengagement, and stop trying to please ultra-right wing fanatics.
