"Hamas leaves Israel no choice"
What is happening now has been repeated many times in the past.
One side deliberatley targets civilians and the other side is forced to respond. Cease fires are never truly cease fires, and truces are only used to re-arm for the next flareup.
It's sad...
On the U.K. Guardian's website, Danny Ayalon writes this and elaborates on Israel's predicament:
"Since Israel left Gaza in 2005, thousands of rockets have rained down on Israeli cities and towns in deliberate contravention not just of international law, but all humanity and morality. While some might suggest the so-called blockade is the cause of the attacks, it is actually a consequence. The restrictions were only implemented two years after Israel left Gaza, when it was clear that instead of building a "Singapore of the Middle East", Hamas was interested in importing stockpiles of weapons from places like Iran. Instead of building a future for its people, Hamas built an open-air prison for the million and a half inhabitants who fell into its grasp."
