The rockets being fired now are a response to the Israeli attack, they
cant in any sense be seen as a cause of it. The numbers which are

ignores Israeli violations - shelling and bombardments which also take
place.

You miss the point again. Numbers of rockets don't really matter. In
this situation, both sides have fired on the other and there is no
point at which the current situation "started", it is the upwelling of
a continuing cycle of violence. Both sides are culpable.

It doesn't matter who "started it". What matters is to stop it and
prevent it happening in the future. Why is this so hard to understand?
