Ahmed Aftab's JournalFair for the Palestinians to force the cancellation of Israeli concerts, or pure terrorism?
The media reports today that Lana Del Ray, the sultry songstress, just postponed her concert in Tel Aviv to avoid possible risk from Hamas rockets. http://www.jpost.com/Arts-and-Culture/Arts/Lana-Del-Reys-Tel-Aviv-show-postponed-due-to-Gaza-crisis-370516
To me, this just doesn't seem fair. A lot of hard working Israeli high school students saved up to see the pop star live. And now they will have to wait. I guess they can watch her on Youtube in the meantime, but anyone who has been to a live concert can you that the two experiences just don't compare.
The goal of terrorism to strike fear into people's hearts so they are forced to alter their daily routine. And it seems this time around terrorism won, with the victim being high school students, who are too young to have fought in war, and most of whom do not even follow politics. Is this really fair? Shouldn't Hamas stop? Is enough ever enough?
Why did Hamas just launch more rockets, and can Israel be blamed?
The NY Times reports that Hamas has again launched rockets into Israel to mark the end the 72 hour cease fire.

So again it is Hamas that has picked a fight. Will some again blame Israel for responding to the rocket fire?
