who is then responsible for all the rockets fired on Israel?

those rockets -no matter who fires- are vital for Israel to indicate them innocent victims; as vital as those stupid fake videos that are sent by the ghost Bin Laden.

according Shock Doctrine and Milton Friedman, the only way to implement a sudden shocking change is to have a trauma; no matter the crisis is real or fake. the trauma works like the electric shock, and makes the minds ready to accept things that are not acceptable normally. this has served many dictatorships so far and still works fine.

There are a lot of Palestinian splinter groups.

Of course, knowing that leads to the question Why?

I believe the big reason is that the creation of Israel ignored the very existence of Palestine. The very beginning when, basically the US, UK and France, decided how and where to create new countries. This is the same arbitrary splitting of traditional boundaries that has led to the violence throughout most of Africa. But, the west, even today can't understand that they are not the clear thinkers they like to think they are.

The Palestinians have been repressed by the ignorance of the west and the savagery of Israeli retaliation. Instead of, right at the beginning, taking the time to negotiate real solutions the course of diplomacy was and, still is, being ignored. As long as the US continues to arm (and making good money doing so) Israel and to veto UN resolutions regarding Israel, there is no possibility of peace.

It's fine for the popular press to blame Iran for siding with Palestine and to quote radical Islamic clerics but let's be realistic here. It's not that long ago that most Christians hated Jews because they blamed the Jews for the killing of Christ. Lots of Christians still believe this and parade that idea about.

It's the same with Muslems. The majority don't condemn Jews but they certainly have the right to take Palestine's side on the issues. There will always be the fundamentalist Muslims and Christians and Jews. But let's try to get beyond the zealots in our society and truly work for peace and understanding.

Probably some were fired by extremists - however many were not even explosive and did little damage, so why fire them at all?

There is speculation that some of the firings after each lull in conflict might have been done by the Mossad as agents provocateurs to give the IDF an excuse to launch more attacks.

Who ever controls Gaza is responsible for attacks coming out of Gaza against the Israeli population, rockets and weapons are imported into Gaza, Hamas is in control of Gaza, Hamas TV and charter openly promotes terrorism, terrorists have many faces.

George Bush did it.

Propagandist!
