The Hamas is shelling the Israelis in retalliation for killing the Palestinian family who were picnicing on a beach. IMO I think the Palestinian's have a right to.

Israel can, say, bomb their equivalent of parliament and assasinate palestinian government officials now, right?

Also what is a "yehudis"? All I can find is that "Yehudi Lights" are used to brighten the dark silhouettes of warplanes against a night sky.

Which is, of course, in retailiation for the constant rocket attacks that are coming from them. You failed to realize this or at the very least didn't bother to state it. You are SSOOO worred about the palestinians unintentional death as opposed to the palestinian's INTENTION targeting of civillians.

I was going to ask the same thing. I assume it's some silly name for Israeli.
IMAGINE if the yehudis used the same tactics as Hamas, ramping up to their highest capacity to bomb kill as many civilians as possible.

The Israelis do that any way, what difference does it make what Hamas does?

However, if it were my family and they were 'accidentally' killed, I'd want my government to defend me and my family as well.

I didn't fail to realize anything. I have not read that anywhere. Please enlighten me and post where you read that the Israelis were shelling in retaliation for 'constant rocket attacks'. I only read that Israel is still investigating the incident and perhaps thought it was an errant shell... not necessarily in retaliation for anything.
The Palestinian government’s security chief, a key player in rocket attacks on Israel, was killed late yesterday in an Israeli air strike.......Abu Samadana, leader of the small PRC faction, was an explosives expert and a suspect in the fatal 2003 bombing of a US convoy in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli artillery fire targeting the northern Gaza Strip on Friday killed at least seven Palestinian civilians and wounded 30 others, Palestinian hospital officials and witnesses said......Israel's military is under increasing public pressure to put a stop to the menacing, near-daily rocket fire by Palestinian guerrillas inside Gaza, which Israeli artillery and air strikes have failed to do....
The beach shelling occurred roughly an hour after an Israeli airstrike killed three Palestinian gunmen who had fired a rocket into southern Israel, the military said.

Violence Erupts Between Fatah and Hamas
Hundreds of Palestinian security personnel loyal to the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, went on a rampage Monday night in the West Bank town of Ramallah, attacking the parliament and cabinet buildings controlled by his rivals in the Hamas-led government.

I am not going to defend Hamas, but Israel already made the first move at ending the truce when they assasinated a senior Hamas government official last week. Amazingly Hamas did not call of the truce at that time. It was when their civilians were killed unjustifiably that they became pretty upset.

There is enough blame on both sides. Israel for not having better spotting of targets they were striking. The Palestinian Authority has not done it's part from stopping rocket attacks from Gaza that fire indiscriminately into Israel. To merely shrug their shoulders, turn a blind eye and say "were trying" isn't going to cut it with Israel and the Palestinians know it. If it escalates, there should be no doubt as to who will have the upper hand if it comes down to another Israeli incursion into Gaza. Another sad chapter in an already long sad book is about to occur I fear.
