The Hamas rockets have been plentiful but relatively ineffective. However, if they had been accurate and therefore effective, large numbers of Israelis would have been killed. The intent is, and has been, to try to kill as many as possible. Isn’t the intent what matters when we speak about “disproportionate”, or the actual result?
I agree with this and am disgusted by the attempt to characterize the Hamas missiles as somehow too inferior or not destructive enough to warrant Israeli reprisals.
Copy that!.
If someone points a firearm at me at close range and still misses, I should not be responsible for providing him with a free firearm safety course and shooting lessons just to allow the next time to have a successful outcome for him at my expense.
I also value my life more than that of some miscreant who wished to end mine with a second try.
