On the other hand, as bad as Israel's actions are (i.e. evictions, busting up the sit-in at Al-Aqsa with riot police), and I am against them, what did Hamas and friends think the response was going to be when they sent hundreds of rockets towards Tel Aviv?

Not sure how anybody wins here...
When you strip a person of everything, from possessions to the simple dignity of life, what do you leave them? The only option for a people so oppressed is either violence or let themselves be destroyed.
