1. both sides?

more like disproportionally Gazans. I have not seen any Israeli towns razed. This is unjustifiable.

2. The Rockets

The Palestinian rockets are described by the Zionists as "Grad" missiles, supposedly smuggled from Iran. Look at the pictures of them at Sederot. They're rusting. These aren't sophisticated weapons, they are pieces of pipe.

Look at the holes in the Israeli houses. If there were explosives in those "Grad" missiles there wouldn't be a hole because there wouldn't be a house and there wouldn't be such a big collection of rocket parts.

Sederot is less than a mile from the Gaza border. The propellant to fire a rocket a mile can be made from the gun powder from bullets. The amount is minimal. Amateur rocketeer Cub Scouts fire such things every weekend.

The rocket threat is a lie, an excuse for a crime.
