Israel is justifying itself using the daily rocket attacks, the attempts at suicide bombers (they actually stop most of them, but they do happen still and rarely make our news), in order to defend itself. The casualties would not be as high if they did not call using their media for the citizens to surround them while they fire rockets, and use houses for ammo drops. Israel is not firing at the citizens rather at the terrorist, while Hamas fires rockets at civilian sites (not to mention suicide bombers attack civilians). In the first 2 months of 2008 there have been confirmed over
400 rocket attacks. Again I would love a real defense thought from anyone, for a government that has to protect its citizens, where the terrorists are the elected 'government' and will use their citizens as human shields.
