(17,497 posts)does not equate to "giving Hamas a free pass", but I suspect you already know that, and your post is just a strawman argument.
If I have a tank, and you're throwing rocks at me...well, the rock throwing would get rather annoying, but you're not going to hurt me, just like Hamas throwing piece of crap fireworks at Israel is not going to "destroy" Israel.
Tell, me...how many Israeli's were killed by Hamas rockets?
Now, getting back to you and I and our rock and tank fight...sure, I could blast your family with a tank shell, or anti-personnel mines..heck, I might even take out some innocent neighbors, children and women as well, or I could say, yes, this guys angry with me, but he's not equipped to do me any significant harm and go about my business.
Oh, you may also have to throw in that the reason you're mad at me and throwing rocks is because I kicked you off your land, gave you a small hole to pass through and cut off your food and water supply.
There is nothing about being able to see both sides of an argument that makes you give one side a free pass.
I'm sorry if questioning Israel offends you, but someone has to do it.
