A Hamas official quoted by the International Crisis Group, or ICG, said the move violated the "reasonable rules of the game: that when Palestinian projectiles hit open space ... Israel aims at open space in response."Some lefty sites are already lauding the “reasonableness” of this approach, and are asking Israel to get on board.
By that reasoning (if that's the right term!), if some guy broke into my house and attacked my wife, I wouldn't shoot him with my semi-automatic shotgun, and I certainly wouldn't use all seven shells to make certain he was dead.
I hereby serve notice on any potential attackers of this house: I do not buy the “reasonableness” of Hamas' argument. In my home, disproportionate response is a feature, not a bug.
Translation: if you attack us, you'll likely die quickly, and in a somewhat messy fashion. I think that's roughly what Israel is saying, too...
