  1. Israel knew full well that their actions kicking Palestinians out of their homes in East Jerusalem (Palestinian territory) and attacks on the al Aqsa mosque during an Islamic holy period would invariably lead to Hamas rockets in retaliation: Israel has a long history of repeatedly provoking such attacks. Unlike Israel, which has one of the most advanced militaries in the world and a its own substantial undeclared nuclear arsenal, the Palestinians have no army, no navy, and no air force to defend themselves and their interests. It is the Palestinians who are David in this conflict; it is Israel who is Goliath. Hamas and other groups firing of rockets without adequate targeting mechanisms indiscriminately is mostly symbolic, but it is also morally wrong, constitutes terrorism, and should not be condoned. Conversely, Israel's provocations, use of disproportionate force, and other acts against Palestinians constitute a form of state terrorism, and should likewise not be condoned. Both the right-wing in Israel and the right-wing in Palestine profit from this conflict, and both are equally responsible for the carnage caused.
