The fact is that Israel opted to violated the cease-fire, which was holding pretty well.
Who died during this violation? Indeed, all the dead (between 6 and 10) were Palestinian, there were none on the Israeli side.
Most of the Qassam missilies were fired into uninhabited areas. Hamas meant to give Israel a message, but still wants to hang on to the cease-fire.
And finally, Amira has the guts, that you so conspicuously lack. She goes through a lot of effort to report from the ground. I go to Occupied Palestine regularly. Was there only a few weeks ago. Amira`s reports are accurate. Although you live very near to the Occupied Territories I have never seen you make an effort to go there and find out for yourself.
So how can YOU distinguish fact from propaganda?
