Whether reacting to violence in this case can be referred to as a “cycle” is still unproven.
When Israel left Gaza (indeed an “olive branch’)I noticed no praise from the world and the reaction from the Pals. was …Rockets !!That was sure some disproportional gratitude eh?
Media was silent as usual, well heaven forbid they ever put Israel in a good light after all !
Clinton and Ross were literally shocked at the time of the talks with Barak and Arafat,witnessing it was all up to the Pals. Johnathan to make peace- they are the ones who refuse who do not want peace only the destruction of the Jewish state, and it makes no difference who is in power, fatah or Hamas..this is their goal and they are willing to use innocent civilians on both sides to achieve this. Diabolical…UGH

I keep waiting for some so-called “moderate” Muslim leaders to condemn the violence, but I wait in vain. Where are the protest marches about murder being done in the name of their religion? They say, quietly, that these actions do not represent the “true Islamic faith.” I wish they would shout it out loud, so the violent Jihadists, and the rest of the world, can hear them.

Well, I do agree Israel is just defending itself and is surrounded by countries who dislike it and the are really is tough..
Justified retaliation or not, saying there is no cycle is ridiculous. It doesn’t matter what right the Israeli’s have to defend themselves- it’s still a cycle.. which I believe is unfortunate.
No matter what, Israeli defensive strikes have been viewed by at least some Palestinians as evil acts.
Add in some anti-Israeli bias..
And that’ll lead retaliatory violence by extremist-Palestinians..
so I think it is inaccurate to say that there is no cycle of violence.
HonestReporting may be correct in saying Israel is just protecting itself, but that doesn’t mean there is no cycle.
