Are you really going to look at those rockets and act like they're actions taken in the void? Are you going to deny that the actions, attitudes, and behaviors of the indigenous are symptoms and responses to the systematic oppression, forced colonization, and atrocities perpetuated by Zionists and their Israeli state from the past century? Have you been burying your head in the sand all this time, or perhaps you acknowledge the oppression but want the oppressed to become the perfect victims where they only peacefully protest only to be beaten and arrested in the occupied West Bank or sniped in Gaza as they try to breach the walls of their concentration camp with subsequent cheering from the IDF.

Well if you are limiting your history to (part of) the last century, you would just be making the same mistake. A lot of zionists were children of the Ottoman empire themselves, gathering in Palestine to escape religious oppression in islamic states.

Nationalist Islamic Palestinians are trying to sabotage a two state solution just as much as their Jewish counterparts. At the base level, their bomb and rocket attacks are more of a proponent of that sentiment than they are a symptom of Israeli oppression

They are going to start firing rockets again, Israel is going to fuck Gaza up again. It's not actions in a void but it will happen by firing those rockets.
