10,000 Rockets


Since Hamas came to power in Gaza they have fired 10,000 rockets and Mortars into Israel. These rockets are known as "dumb weapons", meaning that those who launch them only have a faint idea of where they will land.

We have had years and years of Hamas firing these weapons at basically anyone, since they cannot even begin to target them, and the world says what?! Well nothing, no protests in London nor New York...

If France launched 10,000 rockets into Britain indiscriminately dropping all over the British countryside what do you expect the citizens of Britain would demand of their government? Would they expect their government to pay billions of dollars to supply those shooting the rockets with food, water, clothes, electricity, heating oil and fuel? Oh didn't you know that the vast majority of humanitarian supplies for Gaza and the West bank are paid for by Israel? Did you think Iran or Syria paid for them? Think again, the Israeli tax payer has been paying for these basics of life all the while Hamas has launched 10,000 rockets and mortars into Israel.

Don't get me wrong, I don't approve of the vast numbers of civilians killed by the Israelis during this war. Just as I don't approve of the vast number of murders Hamas has carried out to its own people since they came to power (do some searching, Hamas has killed, kidnapped and tortured more people since they came to power than the Israelis have during this war...funny no marches about that either).

Luckily for Hamas and the Palestinians they are closer to victory than ever before...don't believe me? Well, I didnt say it, Hamas leader Ismail Haniya says "We are closer to victory than ever."

Are these people retarded?! How about this for a concept everyone stop shooting each other. Full stop, no more blame, or tit for tat murders. Figure out a way to let normal people get on with their lives. Israel will not be obliterated regardless of what the Hamas charter says, and Israel can't wipe out the Palestinians either. Both sides need to accept that the other isn't going anywhere, and that every single death on all sides is a complete waste as they will have to come to terms with each other at some point.

The very idea that either side claims god is backing them makes me sick, that nonsense may have worked in the dark fucking ages, but not now. Seriously just stop killing each other.
