Look at Gaza... one of the more densely populated areas and you have people that Hamas has not built shelters for.. you cannot blame Israel for killing civilians when if Hamas is the government they are responsible for the civilians. Lately I am seeing a lot of Palestinians more pissed that the Hamas leaders are hidden nice and snug in bunkers with food and electricity, or the founder in Syria chilling in 5 star hotels while they are taking the shit storm from the IDF. Israel did not vote Hamas into office, they did. They continued rocket attacks after the pull out of Gaza, then when the blockade was put in effect because they continuously shot rockets you would think they would come to some type of common sense that they would realize OHHH THATS WHY ISRAEL BLOCKADED US, MAYBE JUST MAYBE IF WE SMUGGLE BABY FOOD INSTEAD OF ROCKETS THEY WILL LIFT THE BLOCKADE. If Hamas was smuggling baby food into Gaza and Medical supplies into Gaza and showing Israel look we are creating the best government we can please lift the blockade so we can help our people, Israel would most likely lift the blockade. Attacking a sovereign nation that possesses one of those most elite armies in the world is not such a good idea, this is just training for many of the units inside of Gaza. Once the reserve units are fully embedded in Gaza Hamas is going to be dealing with a shit storm because they all have been in HEAVY combat.

That is a lie.

Hamas stopped the rocket attacks for 6 months during the cease-fire, and Israel did not ease any of the restrictions.

As long as we are talking about terrorism and Israel, I'm surprised (no I'm actually not) that someone hasn't posted something about the Levon Affair....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavon_Affair

The Lavon Affair refers to the scandal over a failed Israeli covert operation in Egypt known as Operation Susannah, in which Israeli military intelligence planted bombs in Egyptian, American and British-owned targets in Egypt in the summer of 1954 in the hopes that "the Muslim Brotherhood, the Communists, 'unspecified malcontents' or 'local nationalists'" would be blamed.[1] It became known as the Lavon Affair after the Israeli defense minister Pinhas Lavon, who was forced to resign because of the incident, or euphemistically as the Unfortunate Affair (Hebrew: העסק הביש‎, HaEsek HaBish). Israel admitted responsibility in 2005 when Israeli President Moshe Katzav honored the nine Egyptian Jewish agents who were involved.[2]

Every rocket that comes out of Gaza is not a Hamas rocket. During the 6 month cease fire Islamic Jihad continued to fire rockets, and a number of their leaders were arrested and even put in jail by the Hamas government.



The source of this chart is the Israeli consulate in NYC. As you can see, after the first 2 months of the cease-fire, Hamas did a pretty darn good job of stopping rocket fire, even considering they don't have the tools that most governments and law-enforcement agencies have.

Another lie.

Hamas has agreed to the terms of the Arab Peace Initiative which including recognizing Israel's right to exist.
