    I do not believe there has been any reports of rockets fired from Gaza into Israel for at least 3 days. Do you have a link suggesting otherwise?

    Israel has not subjugated Palestinians into refugee/concentration camps. Their brother Arabs did that and didn’t integrate them into their societies. And the suggesting Israel was guilty of expulsion is on the level of a blood blood libel

    Where are they? Why don’t you identify where they are hiding? And what about the rocket launchers and storehouses of rockets? Thousands of them that launched thousands of rockets every day for several days. You don’t hear about them very much? You know why? Because Israel targeted them. And the places inside and underneath wheee they were hidden.

    Are you insinuating that I am antisemitic?

    I stand steadfast with the Jewish and Palestinian people, not with Netanyahu, not with hamas.

    Reading the OP, I'm reminded of the old saying " one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter".

    They were apparently aware I Hamas activity and concluded it was an exercise. They assessed incorrectly

    Hamas says 150 rockets launched at Israel; rocket strikes home in Ashkelon
    A rocket struck a home in Ashkelon with no reported casualties at this time. Hamas armed wing Al-Qassam Brigades said on Friday that it launched 150 rockets towards the city of Ashkelon in Israel "in response to the displacement and targeting of civilians"

    If the Taliban was launching thousand of rockets into New York and Washington and occupied the southern part of the City killing people, we would have bombed the same day.

    How in the hell am I supposed to know where hamas is hiding?
    Do you think I am some closeted hamas person?
    Do you think I have a hotline set up with hamas?
    I am just a middle aged, Christian, balding, white oral surgeon living in Colorado.

    I am glad that Israel targeted them. Israel needs to do more intelligence gathering and more "targeting" before they invade the cesspool that is Gaza. It will surely save many IDF and innocent Palestinian lives.

    That's a very optimistic take on what life is like for Native Americans.

    Easy to say when you've lost nothing and aren't a second-class citizen in a place you believe is rightfully yours. How long did Black South Africans struggle against the people who colonized their land and then imposed apartheid? Am I saying the Jews in Israel are the same as the British and Afrikaners? No. But I am saying that you're not being realistic.

    If the Nazis were still around, would you want them held accountable for what they did to your family?

    This is not a realistic option when hamas is embedded in a dense urban environment with weapons caches in hospitals and schools

    Aside: Hezbollah is said to have 150,000 missiles in stock. And now we know that the “Iron Dome” was a hoax.
