I agree - there is NO excuse for firing rockets. On either side.

Is that not murder too? These peope didn't ask for this. Hamas should have never fired rockets into Israel. But Israel should have NOT retaliated by bombarding civillians with rockets either. |
The difference is that Israel doesn't have a choice, they either have to respond to being attacked; and since Hamas hides within civilian centers there will always be civilian casualties despite Israels amazing record of avoiding civilians, or they have to deal with hundreds of rockets raining down on their population.
The history is clear: when the rockets stop, so does the violence. When it picks up, Israel is forced to respond.
