The Human Rights Watch organization has been unequivocal in condemning the use of Qassam rockets as a direct violation of international humanitarian law and the laws of war. The firing of Qassams and mortars against civilian populations also
constitutes collective punishment
against hundreds of thousands of innocent Israeli men, women and children.
Moreover, the firing of Qassams began not as a response to the siege against Gaza, but as a marathon celebration by armed Islamic fundamentalist groups following Israel's withdrawal of its troops and settlers from the Strip. To purposely add insult to injury, Islamic Jihad and other organizations used the ruins of settlements as launch platforms.

Haz, great responses. It is amazing to see the responses some people make in order to condemn Israel. It seems they take points straight out of the rhetoric handbook. Do they realize what they are saying? Do they know they are basically siding with an organization that wraps their kids in bombs, have schooling that is worse than anything Keegstra could have done?
