    Makes sense to me.

    Could you imagine if Mexico launched 250 rockets into the US ontop of everything else it is doing to the US?

    Israel has every right to respond with 10 times the power and devastation.

    Gaza rocket fire kills Israeli man amid escalating violence

    Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Sunday intensified a wave of rocket fire into southern Israel, striking towns and cities across the region, killing at least one person and seriously wounding three others in one of the bloodiest rounds of fighting since the 2014 war. At least eight Palestinians, including a pregnant woman and her 14-month-old niece, have also been killed.

    Israeli forces struck dozens of targets throughout Gaza, including militant sites that it said were concealed in homes or residential areas. The army also moved armored units toward the Gaza perimeter as the sides headed closer to all-out war.

    Moshe Agadi, a 58-year-old Israeli father of four, was struck in the chest by shrapnel in a residential courtyard from one of the 450 rockets fired from Gaza in less than 24 hours. Then a midday barrage hit Ashkelon again, wounding three people, including two seriously who were suffering from "multisystem trauma." The Magen David Adom rescue service said another person was critically wounded when a rocket landed on a car near the Gaza boundary.

    The problem is the cowards always hide behind human shields. No matter how many rockets they fire indiscriminately into Israel killing civilians, the Israelis will be made out to be the bad guys with the retaliation no matter how careful they are to protect civilians.

    Not educated enough to have an opinion on this conflict. Just wondering what kind of rockets are they firing? 250 lead to the death of just one person?

    The Rocket attacks were stupid. It doesn't change anything in favor of the Palestinians and will likely cause more pain. Israel striking is also stupid. It won't make Israel safer and won't discourage future attacks.

    Both sides need to try something different if either side wants a change. Palestinians need to stop indiscriminate violence. Israel needs to stop the occupation and prejudiced laws and policies.

    If those things don't work they can always go back to their stupid ideas and doing what they've always done.

    Extremely cheap and easy to make, doesn't carry a large explosive, and is not able to be aimed at specific targets (they just shoot them at a general area).

    Israel's already living on stolen land so they're a lot more than even here. #AnotherStupidCoheteThread

    Land is not stolen. It is conquered.

    It's in many ways a political tool Hamas use whenever their gross mismanagement of Gaza starts to boil over, they then use the subsequent Israeli response as a basis for cracking down on the dissenters.

    Is that what it is now? Conquered and occupied? Sounds weird to b**** about the conquered trying to take their land back. I'm pretty sure fighting back is the right of every occupied people.

    Right, Israel should level Gaza with Nukes, that would eliminate the threat and likely all the militants. Isn't that Justice?

    What's the saying? A head for an eye poke makes the world a swell place to live
