No?
Ok.
Hand held rockets compared to Fighter Jet bombings and tanks? the death toll alone makes your point moot.
10 Israeli's compared to 182 Palestinians and you want to talk about aggression and comparing stats?
Also and more importantly, who started all this by continuously swallowing up land that isn't there's and treating Palestinans as sub human?
Just because Palestinians dare to fight back you malign them for it?
If I showed maps that showed Israel in the 1950's compared to today land wise maybe then you'd get the picture.
They're not hand held rockets. They are military grade rockets. Fajr 3 & 4 rockets from Iran and M302s from Syria, Soviet-era BM-21 Grad rockets and an assortment of Chinese rockets. All capable of a range of over 100 miles.
All I'm saying is the military aggression this time around was started by Hammas. What do you expect Israel to do? Just sit back and allow terrorist paramilitaries from a neighbouring state to launch rockets at their cities?
If Hammas are launching their missiles from civilian areas it's their fault if the civilians in those areas are subsequently killed by return fire.
More Palestinians are dying because the rockets are being launched from civilian areas.
Israel has invested billions in defense systems and underground shelters for their people. That's why fewer are being killed.
