Ever since Israel began it's defensive measures against Hamas in Gaza on Dec. 27, 2008, the world outcry has been not on the citizens of Southern Israel, who have had over 8,200 rockets being fired at them by Hamas, but for the some 1,200 killed in Gaza, over half of them being Hamas terrorists. Now, if you believe the media such as BBC, CNN International, and various Human Rights groups and protests, you'd think Israel is committing mass murder!
These are some very serious charges against Israel and I hope to show you some videos that I hope that you will watch not only to the end, but will see what is really going as as oppose to what your being led to believe.
Video #1: What do the children of Hamas learn?
Video #2: Hamas in Their Own Words
Video #3: Sderot, it's citzens, and life in Sderot.
Video #4 &5: UN Human Rights Council and Anti-Semitism
Video #6: Weapons hidden inside a home in Gaza
Video #7 & 8: Professor of International Law and Resident of Sderot at the UN
So in the end, is hiding behind mothers, children, UN compounds, hospitals, and other public institutions ok with the UN but Israel defending itself is not?

Leaders on Israel's Defensive Measures against Hamas
President-Elect Barack Obama
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg
Next President of the European Union, Czech Republic's Karel Schwarzenberg:
Israel's actions are defensive, not offensive!
Countries such as Egypt and Jordan have not publicly come out against this is because these two Arab countries probably support Israel because they both have a common enemy, Hamas.

What caused the current "Hamas War?"
On December 27 Israel launched a defensive action against Hamas titled Operation: Cast Lead. One of the many questions being asked is why such actions need to occur?
On December 19, a six month cease-fire between Hamas and Israel ended and almost immediately, rockets fell in southern Israel including over 80 in one day! After 8 years of rockets (since 2001) being fired on the residents of such cities as Ashkelon and Sderot, no other choice was left for Israel but to begin it's defensive measures against Hamas. Don't believe me? Consider the following evidence, captured by the Israeli Air Force:
Now how does Israel respond to such actions? Until recently it hasn't. It also doesn't "return fire" because doing so endangers the lives of innocent children and other civilians in the areas. This is the case with almost all the rockets being fired from Gaza, being fired within civilian populations making it nearly impossible to return fire unless it kills innocent civilians!
Now, what about those videos of mass explosions after Israel bombs a location? In the video below, Israel fires a rocket at a mosque believed to be a holding place for weapons by Hamas. When Israel fires a rocket you'll see the normal explosion followed by the 2nd explosion which is from the hidden weapons.
Now, as one Palestinian supporter told me that the rockets being fired into Israel by Hamas were "silly little things." Here is a presentation from Noam Bedein of Sderot Media Center about the situation in the southern part of Israel:
So, in the end who is to blame? I'll let this girl in Gaza answer:
I look forward to your comments and responses.

A Chanukah Message from The Anti-Semitism Report
I thought I would share with you this song written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary called "Light One Candle."
The explanation of the significance of the song from here. You can get the lyrics here.
LIGHT ONE CANDLE (A Chanukah Song by Peter Yarrow)
By Stan Schroeder
If you’ve read my monthly biographies in the Shir Notes you know I enjoy writing about people (mainly Jews) who have in some way made our world better for me. Peter Yarrow, who is such a person, was born in New York City May 31, 1938 to Jewish parents who were immigrants from the Ukraine. He graduated from New York City's "High School of Music and Art" (as an art student) and then Cornell University (experimental psychology) in 1959. Yarrow met Noel "Paul" Stookey and Mary Travers in Greenwich Village, center of the mid-20th century American folk music revival. They formed the folk-singing trio of Peter, Paul, and Mary and soon were among the most successful in the business.
Among their many hits were If I Had a Hammer, This Land is Your Land, Blowin' in the Wind, Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, and Puff the Magic Dragon (lyrics by fellow Cornell student, Leonard Lipton, music by Peter Yarrow).
They mixed music with political and social activism. In 1963 the trio marched with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Ala., and Washington, D.C. They were also involved in many of the civil rights and social causes of the 1960s as well as protests against the Vietnam War. Although Yarrow did not have a religious upbringing, he later acknowledged a strong Jewish identification. He now speaks of tikkun olam when referring to the many projects he organizes and supports. He was also a leader in the movement to free Soviet Jews.
Yarrow has long been a peace activist. In 1983 he wrote the Chanukah song Light One Candle that would also be, in his words, “a call for peace and reconciliation". "When I wrote the song, I was forced to look inside myself," he said. He and his daughter, Bethany, traveled to the Middle East at the height of the first intifada. They visited the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and Syria plus other sites in Israel.
And, amazingly, Peter, Paul, and Mary still perform as a trio. Yarrow also performs with his daughter in a group called Peter, Bethany and Rufus.
