By the way...
Like Lebanon Gaza does not have any defense against attack from the air.
Like it or lump it, Hamas was democratically elected by the Palestinian people.
The rocket attacks on Israel causes huge disruption on one small area but are little more than a symbolic gesture of defiance.
The four Israelis killed by Hamas rockets happened SINCE the bombing of Gaza started when Hamas began increasing its attacks.
Meanwhile the media gives EQUAL coverage to the attacks on both sides. Despite 1 Israeli dying for every 92 (latest figures) Palestinians.
With the blockade (which costs hundreds of lives) Gaza is little more than an enormous prison for over 1,000,000 people. Hamas honoured the ceasefire for six months while watching their people starve.
Is it any wonder that they decided to rattle the cage?
Once upon a time Israel funded Hamas as way of dividing Palestinian anger and undermining Yasser Arafat. Did they forget to mention that on News At Ten?
