Hamas has fired more than 8,000 rockets and mortars at Israeli civilians since 2001 and refuses to stop, despite Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza.
hatred is so painful to watch, but perhaps this is now even more powerful to contrast to a natural disaster like the earthquake in Haiti 1/2010, NOT caused by human emotions... praying for Israelis and those who work for their national security...
Hamas took over the Gaza strip by force in 2007, killing many of the Palestinian police that was in charge over law enforcement in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Today the Palestinian authority governs only the West Bank and Hamas completely control Gaza.
Hamas is a Terror Organization, and in order to keep being relevant they need this conflict and have to make sure it keeps going on! 6 months of cease fire is too long, the local Palestinian population might start to like the peace, and oppose Hamas. They had to start the rockets again to make Israel retaliate so they can say to their people you see we are here to protect you.
