The Usurper: Facts and interpretations of the facts are two different things.  Just so we're clear on those parameters.  One thing that would have to be made clear to me, how anyone is justified in firing rockets into civilian targets simply for terrorist purposes.  Nothing is gained for Hamas by the rocket attacks.  They are meant to provoke Israel, knowing Israel will respond with a heavy hand.  Then they can whine to the world about Israel's aggressive tactics.  If I were Israel, I'd never have given back any territory after the 6 day war and Yom Kippur.  The Arabs have promised to drive Israel into the sea and that is what they will continue to try to do.  No matter how many consessions Israel makes, and they have made many, the Arabs will never rest until Israel no longer exists.  This is a fact to which they themselves attest.
