Poor destitute Palestinians emerge from Gaza to see their ruined homes and lives. The overwhelming force force which Israel unleashed has destroyed even the soccer fields where the little children play. A Hamas spokesman declared a great victory, to raise hope from the ruins. One day, he told the crowd, the Israeli occupation will end and we will be free. We will not need or non-explosive rockets, or our poor young children who will run into the battle to protect a holy izzadim al kasam fighter. A woman cradled her crying infant, to comfort him telling him he will never see his father again. His father died when the Hamas bomb factory next door was bombed by Israel.
Israelis in the posh villas of Sderot, BeerSheva and Ashkelon pity the Gaza Arabs. At the same time, most cannot be bothered with day to day worries of these people as long as the rockets hitting the outskirts of their towns stop. It does not matter how many poor little babies need to be killed in Gaza, they say, as long as Hamas rockets don't scratch the paint on my SUV.
