Israel Pulled out of Gaza, to the internationally recognised boundaries, but the Palastinian millitants took this as a sign of weakness, and carried on attacks from there.
This is wrong. Israel removed the settlers and the soldiers, but they did not end the blockade of Gaza or the control of Gaza's borders and air space. And they did not stop dropping bombs on Gazan civilians. Such behavior is hardly a sign of weakness, and it is legitimate to fight against being treated in this way. You would fight it too if you were in their shoes.
