Thread: Why palestinians shoot rocket?

Lie #2) Hamas violated the cease-fire. The Israeli bombardment is a response to Palestinian rocket fire and is designed to end such rocket attacks.

Israel never observed the cease-fire to begin with. From the beginning, it announced a “special security zone” within the Gaza Strip and announced that Palestinians who enter this zone will be fired upon. In other words, Israel announced its intention that Israeli soldiers would shoot at farmers and other individuals attempting to reach their own land in direct violation of not only the cease-fire but international law.



Despite shooting incidents, including ones resulting in Palestinians getting injured, Hamas still held to the cease-fire from the time it went into effect on June 19 until Israel effectively ended the truce on November 4 by launching an airstrike into Gaza that killed five and injured several others.



Israel’s violation of the cease-fire predictably resulted in retaliation from militants in Gaza who fired rockets into Israel in response. The increased barrage of rocket fire at the end of December is being used as justification for the continued Israeli bombardment, but is a direct response by militants to the Israeli attacks.



Israel's actions, including its violation of the cease-fire, predictably resulted in an escalation of rocket attacks against its own population.

Notice the passion on both sides of this argument.
That usually indicates that neither side has clean hands.
You want the real truth? You won't like it but here it is... Both sides are to blame. Neither is innocent in this dispute. Depending on how far back you go in history, both sides have had their land taken, both have been displaced, but have been killed. However, both have also responded badly.
Anyone who tries to lay blame on only one side in this argument is not unbiased.
