Again, I must stress that calling this a 'war' is a perversion of the word and utterly contemptuous of the reality of the situation, confirmed even by the Israeli's themselves.

This is an illegal occupation as recognized internationally and domestically within Israel.

It is a military exercise perpetrated by an occupying power of staggering military might against a largely defenseless and subjugated minority.

To term it a war is to fundamentally ignore or misunderstand the realities of the situation as accepted even by the party's involved.
As much as people want to believe that the attacks from Gaza don't affect Israelis, they do.

The rockets make large parts of the country uninhabitable. It's not a big country.

Just because both sides don't use the same tactics, does not make it any less a war.
