The hamas threats of genocide against Israel. FFS you can't be serious. Hamas fired 8000 rockets at Israel and less than 1% of those resulted in the death of an Israeli. I'm not justifying it by no means, but a caged and starved poeple firing what are quite obviously low yield, low accuracy homemade rockets at the regions superpower does not equate a serious threat that justifys OCL.

Its no less transparent than the 'imminent threat' from Iraq used to justify the invasion.

Unfortunately, injusice and suffering are the fires in which extremism are born. To have a problem with palestinians lashing out from Gaza is the same as having a problem with a caged and tortured animal turning on you.
