The issue you are missing here is that Hamas stepped up rocket attacks GREATLY. It isn't Isarel is attacking now for political reasons... it's Hamas. They stepped up attacks to throw things off right before the Israeli elections... and even more importantly, before Abbas presents his motion at the UN. Since if it passes... it greatly hurts Hamas and helps Fatah... so they need this blood to benefit politically as they'll blame Abbas for this for being a "collaborator" who sits by while gaza gets bombarded. What benefit does Israel get starting a big war right before Abbas brings this vote to the UN? |
hamas/palestinians have fired more than 8000 rockets into Israel in the last 3 years alone.
thats more than the germans did to England in of of world war II.
Also hamas always uses civilians as human shields. They want civilians to die, so they can get sympathy and good PR for their cause. I mean they place their rocket launch sites right next to Mosques, school yards and playgrounds, etc. then launch hundreds of rockets from the location. Israel is that with no other option than to eliminate the launch site. Israel even warns the civilians to leave the area before they attack, they send out pamphlets warning them that they are about to attack, and they should get out. And inevitably when some dont leave and then get injured in the attack, theres an outcry against Israel.
Also since hamas is a terror group that largely doesnt wear uniforms, they are an unconventianal military force in that there is usually a fine line on who is an enemy combatant and an innocent civilian.
It also doesnt help when there is so many numerous cases of hamas, and or the corrupt news media showing fake or staged civilians causualties caused by Israel. whether its a fake dead guy that falls out of his casket, and jumps back in, or its a cropped photo of a soldier stomping on some girl, when infact its not even IDF. or photos of injured children that were caused by hamas themselves, or completey unrelated injuries from syria.
Hamas rejoices when civilians are injured or killed because they know the corrupt media will side with them and sympathize with them. Hamas wants people to die as it furthers thier goal. Hamas targets not only their own civilians (by either firing rockets that dont reach isreal and infact blows up in gaza, or using them as shields to hide behind when the do military strikes) but they also target Israeli civilains. Isreal obviously doesnt use their civilians as martyrs, they try to protect them at all costs, and Isreal als doesnt target palestinian civilians, they also try to protect them at all costs. They warn them tell them to leave. its nearly impossible for Isreal to avoid civilian causulties because hamas trys so hard for it to happen. because Hamas want civilian deaths
Its such a shame that when isreal offers to give up land in the peace, it never happens. From being turned down in 2000 when Isael practically gave in to all palestianian demands and where turned down, or in 2005 where they gave up Gaza, uprooted their own people, all in the name of a peace offering. Hoping that this land would appease these people. Obviously instead of that land being used to promote economic growth and prosperity for the people in gaza, it is used as a strategic military launching site used to further the goal of annihilating Israel.
If the muslims/arabs lay down their arms in the middle east there will be no more war, there will be peace. If Israel lays down their arms, there will be no Israel.
