Rockets from Gaza

www.hrw.org
Since November 2008, rocket attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups have killed three Israeli civilians and seriously injured dozens of others, damaged property and forced residents to leave their homes. The rockets unlawfully struck populated areas up to 40 kilometers inside Israel, placing roughly 800,000 Israeli civilians at risk. Rockets that fell short of their intended targets in Israel killed two girls and wounded others in Gaza during this period. Palestinian armed groups that launched rockets from densely populated areas also unlawfully put Gaza civilians at risk of Israeli counterstrikes.

To a7nee: Hamas uses ambulances, hospitals and schools as operating bases. Go figure. The brothers were actually taking shelter with the Israeli soldiers, the way it looked in the photos. Israel has a right to defend itself, but they lose the pro-islamist liberal media war so they are made to look like the aggressors. I am for everyone but I am anti-BS. Eg: the word "apartheid", so easily leveled against Israel, where 1 million Israeli Arabs enjoy full rights vs Pals who preach ethnic cleansing.

Ramadan for Israeli Army

From the current news:

IDF issued an order to all soldiers serving on West Bank to avoid drinking, eating and smoking during a day time in Ramadan month if they are seen by Palestinians. Can one imagine a reaction of human rights activists if Israelis would suggest to the Arabs of the West bank to fast in Yom Kippur?

@wind4watts These "glorified fireworks" are still rockets and have the potential to kill people. Hamas fires them deliberately at civilians with the intent to kill them.

@bilalbahi Yep, and look at the Cast lead 2008-2009 Massacre (called Gaza War in USA Media) Israeli Kill ratio was 260 Civilians FOR EVERY 1 Soldier Killed by Palestinian defenders. 1462-5 #idf (THEY KILLED MORE THEMSELVES BY FRIENDLY FIRE)

Gaza has no air-force no tanks no Army no rocket launching Drones ALSO no Nukes-H Bombs like Lunatic Tyrant Nazis (& I DO MEAN Nazi's Israel)

@zamond What a load of Zionazi Garbage YOU speak! , these rockets are all home made glorified fireworks THEY DO NOT have explosive heads & have NIL guidance 97% land in empty fields, IN 2009 1 (one) Israeli Child was sadly Killed the VERY SAME YEAR Israel-IDF Gunmen Killed 380-400 Innocent Kids hows that, if the USA Jewish owned Pro AIPAC-Israel peddled 'Israel under attack-victim' non-sense.

 Israel 350 F15-F15 Hundreds Tanks Artillery Palestinians NIL AIR FORCE NIL ARMY NO Defenses at all!

[bilalbahi]

jews scared of tiny rockets what about hundreds of air and land attacks on gaza? and they dont even hide in bunkers like jews .....thats funny

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

@beyondthebeyondable Millions? Yah. I keep hearing figures like that. But what are the actual numbers? Answer me that. Does anyone realize how much restraint Israel excercises? Lets face it. There is no way you can tell me Israel couldnt just wipe out or drive out the Arabs completely in a matter of months if they really wanted to. Lets face it. The point is the world is suffering under a mass delusion due to all the civilian casualties.
