After hundreds of these it is like jabbing a sleeping Dragon, even when it yawns and scratches you keep jabbing. There was even a stern warning only 2 days befor, but Hammas just kept jabbing that Dragon. Well the Dragon is now awake and he is pissed off and will rain fire and brimstone till the jabber no longer shows signs of life. You cant have peace when you indescriminately lob bombs into someone's back yard, and then squeel like a pig under a gate to all your poor arab brothers when Israel comes to your front portch and punchs you out ! Hammas is getting what they deserve. The Palastinian people need to see it is there leadership(Hammas) that is causing there pain and suffering and overthrough Hammas, join the leadership in the west bank and rain in everyone who thinks`jabbing the Dragon will work again.
