What, no claim that Hamas had launched rockets from the facility, or next to it?

Did we sell Israel planes, tanks, and other weapons with the intention of them using these machines of war against what is essentially a prison camp?

It's interesting that Israel, not surprisingly, claims that Palestinians have no right to any kind of weaponry. While Hamas says they have the right to "rifles" for their people. It seems very clear that Israelis think Israel has the right to rifles and all other kinds of implements of war. I guess when you consider Gaza as nothing more than a prison camp, it would make sense that Palestinians not be given any right to defend themselves.
