"But no-one is Jim, except Hamas."
Hamas has never used flechette weapons or white phosphorus or DIME missiles - only Israel has
Israel has used them over civilian areas - you derisively compared them to "Napoleonic missiles" - making you the appalling, inhuman shit that you are.
"In your view, should Hamas continue illegally firing rockets or stop?"
Using your own argument, the use of rockers is not a war crime - targeting them at on civilians is.
Israel is now indiscriminately attacking civilian areas
If one is a war crime both are - doesn't get more simple.
The total number of deaths from missiles fired on Israel since 2001 is 28
The total number of civilian dead in the present conflict in Gaza is 882 - 550 of those have been civilians and 20% of them have been children.
Do I think they should not be fired - of course I do - as long as Israel agrees to stop the state terrorism it has aimed at Gaza for decades in order to create a single-culture apartheid state.
One of the demands made, and backed-by many nations, is an immediate lifting of the blockade and a removal of the apartheid walls - anything less is a surrender to state terrorism.
What you are suggesting amounts to total surrender to return to Israeli oppression - giving way to brute force, no less and it wouldn't make the slightest difference to the conditions Israel have created back home.
I doubt if I would have the courage to continue opposing these thugs, but I tend to feel that to do so would be a betrayal of all those who have been slaughtered in this obscenity that passes for a war.
It's hard to ignore the fact that, while Israelis are busy in Gaza slaughtering civilians, back home they are killing and maiming protesters   
I said at the beginning tat the Middle Eastern situation should be in the hands of the United Nations, without the interference of the U.S. and its vetoes - God knows, America has a record of war crimes and human rights abuses of its own, pat and present, without assisting the Israelis with theirs
