Here's one of your "harmless rockets"




Fact is, those rockets typically carry a 30kg warhead...that's over 60 lbs of explosives...and are quite capable of doing serious damage.

You wouldn't be pretending they were nothing to worry about if they were falling on your city randomly.

If you doubt it, I invite you to put a 60 lb. bomb on your roof with a timer, then go lay down in bed and wait for the fun.

What causes more death in Israel, rockets or car accidents?

I dont know which thread you are talking about, but I think that might help.
The words of the Col. Richard Kemp about Gaza Op.

As of Monday night, after it had been published on the site for only three days, Kemp's testimony had made it into the 100 'top rated' and 'top favorited' news videos list on YouTube this week, and was one of the top 10 'most viewed' videos in Israel.

In his testimony on Friday, Kemp said the IDF took more precautions during Operation Cast Lead than any military in the history of warfare. Kemp spoke on behalf of UN Watch, an NGO that monitors UN activities.

Testifying on behalf of UN Watch in Geneva at the special session called to condemn Israel, Col. Richard Kemp says:



I am the former commander of the British forces in Afghanistan. I served with NATO and the United Nations; commanded troops in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Macedonia; and participated in the Gulf War. I spent considerable time in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, and worked on international terrorism for the UK Government’s Joint Intelligence Committee.

Mr. President, based on my knowledge and experience, I can say this: During Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli Defence Forces did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.

Israel did so while facing an enemy that deliberately positioned its military capability behind the human shield of the civilian population.


Hamas, like Hizballah, are expert at driving the media agenda. Both will always have people ready to give interviews condemning Israeli forces for war crimes. They are adept at staging and distorting incidents.

The IDF faces a challenge that we British do not have to face to the same extent. It is the automatic, Pavlovian presumption by many in the international media, and international human rights groups, that the IDF are in the wrong, that they are abusing human rights.

The truth is that the IDF took extraordinary measures to give Gaza civilians notice of targeted areas, dropping over 2 million leaflets, and making over 100,000 phone calls. Many missions that could have taken out Hamas military capability were aborted to prevent civilian casualties. During the conflict, the IDF allowed huge amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza. To deliver aid virtually into your enemy's hands is, to the military tactician, normally quite unthinkable. But the IDF took on those risks.

Despite all of this, of course innocent civilians were killed. War is chaos and full of mistakes. There have been mistakes by the British, American and other forces in Afghanistan and in Iraq, many of which can be put down to human error. But mistakes are not war crimes.

More than anything, the civilian casualties were a consequence of Hamas’ way of fighting. Hamas deliberately tried to sacrifice their own civilians.

Mr. President, Israel had no choice apart from defending its people, to stop Hamas from attacking them with rockets.

And I say this again: the IDF did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.
