***CORRECTION***
I meant eventually, the rockets will hit a target and/or cause personnel damage. I wasn't arguing the effectiveness of the overall campaign.

It's nonsense, as much as 9/11's hope was that America would "leave the middle east alone" see how that worked out for them?

Because it is the same tactic the Nazis used to bomb Britain with V1 and V2 rockets.
Arafat was the nephew of Muslim Brotherhood founder Al Husseini who was a Nazi who tutored Arafat.
Same tactics different era.

I don't see how it is at all. Especially if they know that Israel will be retaliating with strikes that can cause colateral dmg
This hasn't been posted on Ats for whatever reason but yesterday Israel also offered a ceasefire. To which Hamas refused.
This leads me to believe that the goal for Hamas is more to let the strikes continue and civilians to be hit so Hamas can continue to cast Israel in a bad light because of deaths of civilians.
If Hamas cared for the people of Palestine they would have at least tried to negotiate the cease fire w Israel and Egypt.
To me it's clear this is a campaign by Hamas

lol no it won't.
Their goal is to "terrorize" or "protest" Israel. Their hope is that if they keep doing it, than the Israeli People will rise up and support Gaza.

Does it matter what they are firing? This is a tired old argument....
If I have a 45 and you have a .22 and you shoot at me I'm still going to shoot at you back.
It's irrelevant what size they are.
What about the fact that Hamas had fired over 600 rockets at Israel before Israel decided to fire back?
Are they just suppose to wait until they kill a bunch of people or hit something of extreme importance before launching retaliation strikes?
This thought process confounds me
