News sources continue to call the action in Israel an "Israeli offensive."
Do you feel Israel's actions are chiefly defensive or offensive?

I think it's crazy it has to be asked in the first place. Israel has been on the DEFENSIVE since 1948 when God made it a nation again IN A DAY exactly as predicted in the Old Testament. . . with the miracle of the Soviet Union agreeing.
Tiny, besieged, beleagured, with bombs going of in it's bossom relentlessly--DEFENSIVE is too mild a word.
I understand how you mean there appears to be an offensive at present. . . but to suddenly decide to quit shaking hands with and go for the eyes and nuts of the one determined to obliterate all evidence of your existence off the face of the planet--certainly qualifies as DEFENSIVE to me.
Perhaps as important, the dorks with brain fade about the realities of Israel's existence need to be reminded that it is DEFENSIVE. If Arafat et al weren't trying to annialate them, Israel would not be trying to take out their weapons.
Let the terrorists know we as a populace have their number and stand united against them all--especially guard humping, pathological liar, power grubbing, land stealing Arafat.
