Is it possible that they actually believe that there should be no retaliation?
They have fired more than 10,000 rockets into Israel?
They set up their rocket launching sites in neighborhoods, among homes, schools and hospitals and actually expect the Isreali's to not destroy these sites because of their locations.
Their logic escapes me.
It is very simple. They HATE JEWS! It is as simple as that, period.

My husband was telling me of a story in Michigan (I don't know all the details) where a policeman pulled over a young guy and then decided he was going to be a nice guy and deliver him to his parent(s). The guy got hold of the policeman's gun and killed him. My husband was telling me of one comment where presumably another black was stating that the cop was a racist and shouldn't have pulled the guy over in the first place. Unfortunately you see this with some blacks. They don't think other blacks should have any consequences to their behavior. It's the same with Arabs. The cop was the bad guy for doing his job and the Jews are the bad guys for finally standing up. Whatever evil is done, no matter how horrific, some will excuse it until their dying day.
