Subject: RE: BS: Israel Moves in.
Hamas would not be firing those rockets if Israel had honored it's obligation under the terms of the cease fire and ended the blockade of Gaza. The rockets are a defensive act in response to Israel's deliberate targeting of the civilian population of Gaza. If the Gazans had the kind of precision weaponry that would allow them to be more precise about whom they target, I'm sure they would be happy to use them against Israeli military targets. Under the circumstances, they are using what they can get.

Maybe the US should provide Hamas with smart weaponry, as we're doing for the Israelis, so Hamas can be more precise about whom their defensive weapons hit.
