Why doesn't Israel just nuke Gaza?

It seems to me that Israel has adopted a policy of slow strangulation and starvation of it's Palestinian wards. The situation in Gaza is about as deplorable as any other oppressed group or place in the world past or present. And I dare say it is almost as bad if not worse than the concentration camps organized by the Nazis. It is worse to me because this shit has been going on for decades and there is still no end in sight, whether that end be the sweet release of death or a cessation of Israel's atrocities.

Here's a question. Which is better, slow torturous death grinding out every day for a lifetime or a brief flash of light and destruction?

Obviously neither of those options looks good. In a perfect world I would want Israel to hang up the spurs and guns and come to the table with genuine interest in peace. But that would negate the whole idea of the "peace-process" which is just that, a process (a never-ending shoving and shouting match that leave regular people in the lurch). And the system has been processing for a long damn time. So really either we let the fuckers just keep processing or we hit the reset button and start over.

One way for Israel to do that is just to wipe out the Palestinians wait about 70 years for the outrage to settle and go about their business. Or the Palestinians and their supporters could just wage outright war on the oppressive state that is killing them slowly. (Neither option really works out in the end but then again the "peace-process" isn't working out either.)

Reality time...
So what can we do? For one stop buying shit from Israel. Another would be to yank the plug from the war machine, in other words find some way of stopping the US Govt. providing material support to the Zionist regime. And yet another would be in finding some way of facilitating an alternative, outside dialogue to negotiate a real peace between the two for the people, not the powers that be. Fat chance there. Yet another thing we can do is yell, scream, rant and rave (sort of like I am doing here) in the hopes that something will give. Again fat chance, but for me it makes me feel a little better. And ultimately, we could (and should) give of our time, money and effort to help people in need.

Aid flotilla anyone? Oh, they did that one already. Well shit man... um, try again? Yeah maybe that'll work out. So in conclusion, I have no conclusion and not much in the way of good ideas. However, I do give a shit about what is happening and proudly add my voice to the growing din heard around the world for Israel to stop acting like those that once almost put out their flame forever. Palestinians are people too and they have just as much right to be in their homeland and to enjoy safety and tranquility as the Israelis do.
