"Hamas rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians are unlawful and unjustifiable and amount to war crimes," he said. "Under the laws of war, such weapons are indiscriminate when used against targets in densely populated areas. Hamas should publicly renounce rocket attacks on Israeli civilian centres and punish those responsible,"

This is fact. Hamas fired thousands

of rockets at Israeli civilians with the

stated intent to terrorize and kill

civilians. Under every civilized law this

is a war crime. The rockets had no

military purpose. The fact that few

Israeli civilians were killed does not

change the fact that Hamas is guilty

of war crimes.

This is not a numbers game. The emotional cost to the citizens, children, women and men living in the region has been traumatic. Besides they just tested longer range missiles yesterday shooting them into the sea. Simply put the next Gaza invasion will be the last. I hope it never gets to that situation.
