(2,570 posts)I doubt that there's a so-called "Hamas" shill/sympathizer to be found around here, and very few that sympathize or empathize with the continuing plight of occupation, etc, of the Palestinian people, that don't or haven't condemned the manner in which their elected leaders there, Hamas, as well as the indie fighters, have conducted themselves with the rocket use.
What's amusingly stupid about your effort here is not just the "who started it nature" of it which ignores who actually did historically as well as recently, but also the fact that you have to just make crap up like that in lieu of any reasonable or sustainable arguments.
It's like all those "racist!" etc charges some of the dimmer or more dishonest bulbs around here have tossed at Obama critics from time to time. While it can simply be dismissed as the desperate dishonesty that it is, it does serve the rather distinct purpose of identifying the character flaws in those that employ such lowbrow and largely self-refuting tactics.
well done
Israel is more than welcome to, as a matter of "tit for tat", to "lob" rockets of the unguided kind in retaliation. But just to more unfair to the baby/women-killing/Israeli supporters around here, such factors as population density, who fired the rockets like Hamas or those overwhich they have little to no control,
The Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center estimated that in 2007[36] the proportions of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip were:
34% Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Al Quds)
22% Hamas (Qassam)
8% Fatah (Kafah)
6% Popular Resistance Committees (al Nasser)
30% unknown
etc, ought to have a role in determining the ratio of rockets fired by the open air prison wardens. We'll just put you down as a supporter of collective punishment and disproportional killing.
Most school children could figure out looking at a detailed map that so many rockets are lobbed as a means of increasing the chance of hitting something, and that targeting schools, hospitals with guided ones make a much better statement on what and who those that pulled the trigger intended to hit, and their moral character as well.
Feel free to applaud their accuracy and the toll taken.
