I have some Jewish friends who are disgusted by the actions of Israel. I also have some that are adamantly echoing "Hamas started this...and we're fighting back." I try to stay quiet, then again I don't know what kind of friendship it is if we can't really speak our minds right?
That's the thing. Hamas did not start it. Their rockets were not launched just because. Israel's operation in the West Bank of taking in prisoners which were released from the prisoner exchange with the Israeli soldier, assassinations of a few Palestinians, taking Hamas members prisoners, etc. provoked Hamas to do rocket reprisals.
