38. unemployment?
Hm, must suck. Perhaps Hamas should refrain from firing rockets and mortars at Israeli towns, stop firing on Israeli driven aid trucks entering the strip and begin to make the welfare of Gazans their top priority instead of engagement with Israel.

I'm actually pretty confused by your position here. What exactly would you expect to happen in such a situation? How many years would you think Israel would just accept rockets hitting its cities before retaliating militarily?

If Hamas truly wants this to be a war then it doesn't seem reasonable for you to then criticize Israel on the basis of Gazans living in a wartime environment. Hamas was freely elected. This was entirely their decision.
