The kid was hitting him, and being a little runt sure it hurt less then the punishment the big kid would reply with... but the big kid has the right to respond.
Heck, Israel shows amazing restraint for gods sake. I mean as far as I can tell rockets fire on a weekly basis and they only respond when they are higher in number and/or kill someone.
I mean, how would you respond if Indonesia started firing rockets at you on a weekly basis? Then when you struck back people harassed you for striking back.
(Indoneisa is the country Australians illogically think is going to invade them right?) |
Despite the vast disparity of technological capability, Indonesia has more people on the one island than Australia has on the whole continent, and then when you start to do the math... (though Indonesia's fairly secular and peaceful nowadays, or as much so as a country of its status can be)
But why provoke the big kid? That's war. Hamas doesn't use terrorist tactics For The Evulz, it's just asymmetric warfare. Which isn't to say i condone what they're doing at all, but Hamas is of the opinion that Israel's existence is non-negotiable (and given Israel's refusal to really bargain with Fatah no matter how many times Fatah doubles down, Hamas may be right in their own twisted way), and obviously they can't fight the military force that could tear Syria and Egypt to shreds conventionally, so you fight asymmetrically: terrorism
And if they didn't fight, what would they get? Probably the same thing as the West Bankers get "You little bitches better shut up and let the settlers walk all over you, or you'll be sorry."
