One HAMAS leader (who was killed by israel a couple of days ago) sent his own kid son to be a suicide bomber..
That is not to say that innocent civilians aren't hurt. they are, which is horrible and sad.
But when israeli civilians are hurt its because hamas fired a rocket with the intention of killing them. when palestinians do it's generally because hamas cynically used them as cover and camoflague.
Get it, hamas is a tool of iran. They care nothing for the benefit of palestinian people, who are tools and cover for them.
Or they wouldn't have taken over gaza in a brutal military coup, and wouldn't have used all their power and funding to smuggle in rockets and mortar shells instead of building parks, residence, schools and so on.
Then you have to ask, how is it that the West Bank, another area ceded to palestinian control by Israel, ISN'T shooting rockets at civilians targets in Israel?
