MSM will blame it on the Jews instead.

Easter Sunday 2008, the Mahdi Army initiated rocket and mortar attacks on the Green Zone, in Baghdad. At least 5 times a day or more. Always after each of their daily prayers and then maybe one or two at night.
Most of the launch sites were in school yards, neighborhoods and around mosques in Sadr City. And they would use crude, but effective initiators/triggers, sometimes using kitchen timers or water timers, so they’d aim, set the timers and be long gone before anything fired.
Therefore, the US military wasn’t allowed to use the counter battery systems, so we just took it, every day, all day for a couple of weeks until the Iraqi military and US military surrounded Sadr City and put an end to it. Miraculously, no one was killed or even seriously injured.
The same radical jihad blood cult to make sure their kids die.
Yes, some of them.
Any different than the radical Left and ghetto organizers of the US?
Their kids are taught from Day 1 that the Jews are the reason their lives suck.
Here, it’s white Conservatives that are responsible for the plight of everyone else that has been convinced they’re being oppressed.
Read about 400 or 500.
Pro active is right. Though mainstream Gazans share a guilt in voting for Hamas.
Wow.
“...mainstream Gazans share a guilt in voting for Hamas.”
Damn right. Isn’t Hamas doing everything they were elected to do?
They were expected to win easily in the elections that were scheduled but that Abbas just cancelled.
Hamas is very clear about its objectives and policies. So what are the Palestinians squawking about?

The Media’s Role in Hamas’ War Strategy
Richard Landes
August 5, 2014
Hamas’ PR strategy can only work if international news media follows the script, whether willingly or under coercion.
[...]
According to its critics, Hamas’ war strategy works like this:
Episodically attack Israel’s civilians in such as way as to provoke a counter-attack.
Hide behind Palestinian civilians (preferably in crowded neighborhoods, schools, and hospitals), while encouraging them, even forcing them, to stay, guaranteeing that the return fire wounds or kills civilians and damages civilian structures.
Encourage the Western news media to play up the civilian suffering, play down Hamas’ role in it, and accuse Israel.
Conjure a firestorm of outrage around the world that eventually pressures Israel into desisting from counteroffensive measures.
Survive to reap the propaganda victory and prepare the next round of hostilities.
Repeat, with each exchange hurting Israel more, and each round of international news coverage further savaging the Jewish State’s international reputation.
No matter what the Israeli response, the Hamas strategy is win-win. If the Israelis abort a strike to avoid civilian casualties (as they often do), then Hamas is spared the blow; if an Israeli strike causes civilian casualties, Hamas has dead babies to parade before the cameras. And eventually, the bloodletting will get so bad, the pictures so damning, that Israel will stop. Hamas’ endgame goals, at least at this stage of its asymmetrical war, are actually threefold: tie Israel down with constraints on its use of power, delegitimize and demonize it in the eyes of the world, and stir an aggressive “Muslim Street” in the West, where genocidal chants can
