Gaza, Hamas, and Israel: Here we go again

      Missiles, missiles, and more missiles.   Iron Dome Shield, mobile launch sites, civilian casualties.
Accusations, calls for cease fire are ignored, postponed, and demanded.   Funerals are carried out, victims' families mourn, and still, nobody blinks.   Is it caused by a germ or a virus?  Is it the water?  What brings these neighbors to the brink and beyond so regularly?  The questions continue to be the same, and they remain unanswered as innocents die and politicians chatter.
     Israel has mobilized forces on the Gaza border; they are poised in attack formations; warnings have been passed on to Palestinian residents to move out of their homes to prevent further loss of life.     All the talk seems to have no effect.   Hamas continues to make bellicose statements designed for the home front more than Israel.   Yassir Arafat, the late leader of the PLO, would have had his photo plastered all over to remind his followers that he's in charge and will deal with Israelis.  Now, Hamas does not appear to have a face, or anyone willing to put their face on the problem.   This only compounds the problem for Israel as the Prime Minister, Mr. Netanyahou, attempts to deal with the latest storm of missiles fires from Gaza.
