1. These are not "harmless fireworks"

For those who claim that the rockets don't hurt anyone and therefore they are "harmless fireworks", please note the main reason that Israelis aren't more seriously hurt:

"The kindergarten itself is a bomb shelter, so there was no reason to move anyone. The children were relatively calm. Right after the explosion the children started coloring."

If the Palestinians would take as much care to protect their civilian population as the Israelis do, they too would not get hurt. Even better, if the Palestinians would stop firing rockets at Israeli civilians, they would not get hurt in return.
