ITT, if someone shoots one bullet at you, you should only shoot one bullet back
Israel's response was not disproportionate.
Around Nov 11, over 100 rockets were fired at Israeli civilians from the Gaza strip over 24 hrs.
You can't fire 100 rockets at someone over a 24 hour period and expect them not to get pissed.
You can't bulldoze homes, build illegal settlements, murder and displace countless civilians without expecting a reaction either.
From back in 2004?
Israel unilaterally left the Gaza strip in 2005. Gave it back to the Palestinians. There was even a ceasefire. Things had been going great until Palestinian rocket attacks started up again.
"We got our land. But that ain't enough. Now we wanna revenge-kill some innocents."
Fuck ceasefires, civilians gotta die. Amirite?
On November 8, two days before the attack on the holiest of holies - soldiers in a military jeep - they could have read about IDF soldiers killing 13-year old Ahmad Abu Daqqa, who was playing soccer with his friends in the village of Abassan, east of Khan Yunis. The soldiers were 1.5 kilometers from the kids, inside the Gaza Strip area, busy with "exposing" (a whitewashed word for destroying ) agricultural land. So why shouldn't the count of aggression start with a child? On November 10, after the attack on the jeep, the IDF killed another four civilians, aged 16 to 19.
