As far as I can tell.

Gaza is 8 hours ahead of CST

In fact, look for an Egyptian-brokered cease fire very soon.

In all, 48 Palestinians, including 15 civilians, have been killed and more than 400 civilians wounded, according to medical officials.

But how come the NATO troops don't intervene? Is NATO there at all?

or rater, to deter the Soviets from picking off one country at a time.

The fact that NATO has engaged in operations in places like Libya and Afghanistan is only because America was able to get some of their NATO buddies along to give its engagements in those countries some legitimacy without going to the UN (in my opinion).

NATOs role is changing and is something that should be talked about much more than it is. Seems like people forget why the North Atlantic Treaty Organization existed in the first place.

It's a shame that inocents are dying as we speak.
I hate wars

I support a Palestinian state. I also support Israel and its right to defend itself.

Hamas is a terror organization that launches attacks in a way to try to maximize civilian injuries/deaths and damage.

Israel, while striking back with far more firepower attacks in a way to try an minimize civilian injuries/deaths and damage.

That to me is crux to the whole situation.

Hamas not only attacks on its own, it gives aid and comfort to other terror groups like Islamic Jihad.
