Put in in perspective https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rocket_Attacks_fired_at...

Israelis make Palestinian territories into hell on earth and then when a handful of the victims fight back ever so slightly, make themselves out to be the victims and use it as justification for limitless levels of escalation. It's the kind of self delusion that's only possible through deep & pervasive narcissism -- no wonder so many of them have to take psychedelics all the time.

If you will have a closer look, rocket attacks started to climb up after Israel left Gaza.

There was expression during the disengagement process from Gaza: Palestinians can build either Singapore or Somali. It's their choice to make.

They made choice in 2006 when they elected hamas. You can see on graph how Hamas elected to use resources

A less militant government would have simply been rolled by the rabid dog that is the Israeli state sooner. The eliminationist ethnocentrism from both officials and citizenry has been consistent and not at all hidden.

Rolled like The West Bank? Hamas's stated goal is to destroy Israel. You pro-Palestinian types are always so hypocritical.
