No one (sane) is defending the Hamas, merely noting that when your counter terror operation has managed to kill more innocents than the terrorists maybe you should stop and rethink your operation a little bit. If some people break into your house and hold you at gunpoint while they fire a rpg that gets shot down by an active defense system, i don’t think that you’ll be very happy the the governments only response is to blow up your house a half hour after they’ve left.
