5. Hamas is not an alien race from another planet. They are made up of Palestinians
The pro-Israel media treats Hamas like an alien power that has enslaved the Palestinians, but that is not true. Hamas, like the I.R.A., is made up of the people they represent. Those civilians VOTED for Hamas in the last election because they saw Fatah selling out to Israel. Israel wants a Vichy style Palestinian government that will allow Israel to do whatever it wants, including building more illegal settlements on Palestinian land.

Those rockets are glorified fireworks. They have no guidance system, so Hamas is hoping for the best when they fire them off. Hamas fired those rockets this round because Israel was literally starving the people of Gaza to death because those people had the audacity to vote Hamas into power. In the last 2 years less than 20 Israelis have died from them, but in the same time frame over a thousand Palestinians have died or been injured. Hamas' rocket attacks did not deserve an invasion and brutal attacks by Israel on the Palestinian people.
