Israel, Gaza, and Jeffery Goldberg's questions

Jeffery Goldberg, one of Israel's strongest supporters in the US media, passes along the wrong questions here: The Most Dangerous Moment in Gaza - The Atlantic:
Question 1: What would you do if your neighbor across the street sits down on the balcony, puts his little boy on his lap and starts shooting machine gun fire into your nursery?  
Question 2: What would you do if your neighbor across the street digs a tunnel from his nursery to your nursery in order to blow up your home or in order to kidnap your family? With these two questions I pass the interview to you."
Goldberg is Pro-Israel in everything he does and wants his readers to see the conflict solely from the Israeli side.  I'd like to hear his response to one question from the Palestinian point of view

Question 1:   What would you do if your neighbor built a wall around your house, locked you in and your friends and family out. Blocked or restricted your access the market, your work, and even your own yard. Then bulldozed your garage, garden, and favorite tree. Then,... built his nursery in your back yard. Then,... arrested and jailed anyone who tried to help free you. Then,... arrested and jailed the political leaders you elected. Then,... just for the hell of it,. bombed the shit out of your house, hospital and school every few years?

I think most people would be heading to the balcony with their machine gun.
