They just can't leave Israel alone. No matter how Israel tried, they kept attacking.
Israel tried in every way possible to live peacefully with its neighbors. They are surrounded on all sides with countries that harbor terrorists. From the day Israel was established, the attacks began. The Israelis even bulldozed their own settlements and gave the land to the Arabs, but nothing short of the annihilation of Israel would satisfy them. The suicide bombers got on Israeli school buses and went into the market places. Missiles were aimed at resorts and cities and hundreds more were poised on the border. Israel even built a wall but it didn't keep the terrorists out. When 2 soldiers were kidnapped, Israel had enough. The did what the US should be doing; they went after the terrorist's headquarters and training grounds. These are the same terrorists that attacked us on 9/11 and have attacked Britain, India and other countries. Israel is the only ally of the US in the Middle East and the only democracy in the region. They have a right to defend themselves.

No they really did not see it comming, they have done this for years, small attacks, killing a few, a bomb here and there.
They expected Israel just to agree to a trade of prisioners like they have done in the past. Israel is holding some of thier members and they wanted to trade.
Israel just had enough this time and decided that they needed a new buffer zone like they used to have ( maybe allittle larger)

It's a no-lose situation for them. If they can trade them for lots of prisoners, they win. If Israel acts heavy-handedly, then sympathy for Palestineans increases. International support/pressure on Israel is the only way they can hope to achieve their goal (of destroying Israel... see Hamas charter), since Israel has a much stronger military.

Because all they want to do is fight, it doesn't matter for what reason, if there isn't a reason they'll make one up. Israel did the correct thing, go in find the terrorist and destroy them. They are just as the terrorist in Iraq, they kill their own people, don't care kill anyone.

When you are blinded by hate and intolerance for anyone not like yourself you have no care about what may happen.
Here's the fable of: The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back.
The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?"
The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"
Replies the scorpion: "It's my nature."
