Let's say you're right. In that case, the best thing for Palestinians to do is to stop the rockets.

What do you want them to do? If it's being used for military purposes, it's a military target. You can't just write your opponent a blank cheque to fire at your from "civilian" sites.

Yeah, before Hamas there was suicide bombings. Hence the wall. If Isreal gave Palestine statehood, they'd be at war with the new state as soon as the first rockets launched - it's not a solution.
