It's like a prison riot. You have to fight back knowing that you will be crushed again, but if you don't Israel will just continue the slow slaughter of Palestinians.

If you can try to get some breathing room and make it painful to the other side you can hope Israel will someday stop.

Has there every been a prison that had to shut down and release all the prisoners due to continious riots? It just doesn't seem like a strategy that can actually work.

The difference is that the comparison shouldn't happen because Gaza is not actually a prison so the people in it aren't prisoners they are civilians with militants mixed in because there is no way out.

If Israel didn't oppress and let the people live their lives, then perhaps they wouldn't lash out with these rocket attacks.
