synapse,
No rockets are reigning down daily when they are not at war, when they are war yes and usually starts reigning down that prompts a war, Israel has to respond. But.........here is the thing, when the rockets aren't reigning down Hamas is still building tunnels to Israel, why? The are re-arming rockets from Iran, why? Why are they using money that is supposed to be spent on infrastructure on finding ways to terrorize Israel? And if the care so much about their citizens why are they using them as human shields?
You said that you don't think Hamas is the definition I characterized them to be, but what negotiations did the 50,000 people have with ISIS? There is none and ISIS want you dead, end of story. If this is not true then why doesn't Hamas take out of their charter that Israel doesn't have the right to exist. They without a doubt would kill every single Jewish person if they could. Remember how this latest incident started, with the kidnapping, torture and dismemberment of three Israeli KIDS.
They are the very essence of what I described them to be.
They are very different from me, I would not make it a point to kill children, they make it a point, just like ISIS beheading children, have you seen the USA or Israel doing that, show me, but we know these terrorist groups do it, hell they put it on TV or the internet. If you can't see the difference between us and them, you are lost, sir.
