[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There would be palestinian casualties if they had not launched rocket attacks unprovoked onto Israel.

There would be much fewer casualties if Hamas would launch the rockets away from the shelters.  Instead, it appears that a strategic decision has been made by the Hamas military to place the civilians in harms way by launching adjacent to shelters.[/quote]

That's not really responsive to the question posed.[/quote]

Palestine does....they can legally attack Israeli military units....there would be minimal civilian casualties as Israel does not embed the military within the civilian spaces.   Launching precision rockets at the Negev airbase....legal.  The problem is Hamas embeds the military with the civilian population, significantly increasing the risk to civilians.[/quote]

So we have established that Hamas has the right to launch rockets into Israel as long as they do not target civilians, collateral damage notwithstanding.  Correct?[/quote]
