Based on your own criteria and things you said, it would be legal for someone to fire unguided munitions into your New Mexico town. Tell us, how long would you tolerate watching cars and buildings be destroyed and people being killed and hurt before you demand that the government do something to stop the attacks? Or would you instead nod sagely and say that everyone just needs to settle down and tolerate the attacks?A. They are not home made. Gaza has no rocket store, warhead store nor Amazon delivery. They are smuggled in from Iran. You lied.The rockets raining down on Israel never happened?Last I checked thatâs a direct violation of international law.

As Hamas terrorists literally hide behind civilians to attack Israel, Ilhan Omar does her part to dispel âthe myth of âhuman shieldâ in Palestineâ
Terrorists attempt to justify using civilians as Human Shields by claiming they are engaged in 'Urban Warfare', requiring the hiding and fighting from within a civilian population, which they claim is completely different from using innocent civilians as 'Human Shields'.
- 'Urban Warfare' is combat conducted in, for example, House-to-House combat, not intentionally placing rocket launchers you are using to attack the next city / territory on top of hospitals or in schools.
'Hamas is not using innocent people as 'Human Shields' - the terrorists can't help that they live within civilian populations - 'There is just so much space in Gaza to go around'.
WTF?! REALLY?!
....and of course there is more BS attempts to justify Hamas using innocent civilians - children - as human shields from terrorist-supporting/sympathizing anti-Semites like Omar are willing to spread:
"And by Ilhan Omarâs faulty logic, Israel is a legitimate target of Hamas terrorists:

HAMAS USES INNOCENT CIVILIANS AS HUMAN SHIELDS....PERIOD. THAT HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE PROVEN.
"The headlines in most places were entirely predictable: âUN Says Israel Killed 44 Palestinians in Schools During Gaza War.â That was indeed one finding of a UN report published Monday â but only part of the story.
The report also confirmed something Israelâs been saying all along: Hamas stored mortars and other weapons in at least three UN schools during last summerâs war and fired rockets at Israel from two of them."

Hamas admits it used civilians as human shields, had terrorists mixed in with crowd
"Two days after the siege on Israelâs border, Hamas acknowledged that 50 of the 60 people killed during the protests were members of the terrorist organization. What Hamas likely wonât admit is that the other Palestinians who died during this altercation were used as human shields to protect the terrorists."
The inhumanity of Hamasâ human shields
Recently, I had the opportunity to lead a congressional delegation to Jerusalem for the opening of the U.S. embassy.

H.R. 3542
H.R. 3542 states that it is U.S. policy to: (1) condemn the use of human shields by Hamas as an act of terrorism and a violation of human rights and international humanitarian law, and (2) act against those engaging in or supporting the use of human shields. The President is urged to direct the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations (U.N.) to use U.S. influence at the U.N. Security Council to secure support for a resolution imposing multilateral sanctions against Hamas's use of human shields.

Hamas' use of civilians as human shields
Hamas and the other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip have adopted various tactics of using civilians as human shields. One of them is encouraging civilians to gather on roofs to prevent terrorists and their houses from being attacked by the Israeli Air Force.
1. Hamas spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri was interviewed on 8 July, and called on the Palestinian people to use the human shield tactic to defend their homes: "We in the Hamas movement call on our people to adopt this procedure" (Source: Memri and Channel 10)
So whereâs the Lefts precious UN?
The UN knows it NEVER HAPPENED.
Everything Israel says is essentially a lie.
Like I said, you Leftards are a special kind of evil.
Wrong.
We were talking about the claim that rockets were fired from the roofs of hospitals.
That obviously makes no sense and is a lie.
How would anyone even get all these rockets up on to a hospital roof anyway?
Its not like the elevators go all the way to the roof.
But Palestinian rockets are small and home made, without any guidance. They rarely harm anyone.
I just wish there were more lethal, so that Israel could be stopped from murdering and stealing.
B. A 6 foot rocket with an explosive warhead is very lethal. Thatâs why our military has been using them for 80 years. Lie #2 by you.
C. At least 6 dead and dozens injured from the Hamas terrorists rocket attacks. Numerous Palestinians have been killed and wounded by their own rockets. Lie #3 by you.
D. Hamas terrorists use human shields. Lie #4 by you The Leftist Atlantic:
Hamas Quietly Admits It Fired Rockets from Civilian Areas
The Gaza terrorist group offers that "mistakes were made" in its summer conflict with Israel.www.theatlantic.com
E. It is a direct violation of international law to intentionally target civilians. All Hamas and their supporters should be executed for their war crimes.
Liar.
A. Palestinians have been making rockets for 70 years now. A rocket is just a tube filled with propellant with a funnel shaped nozzle.
They are easy to make from home. I have built hundreds of model rockets at home, and some have gone for miles. They can't smuggle from Iran or anywhere, because Israel cut off all commerce and inspects all packages.
B. The size of the rocket is irrelevant. They point is all the propellant is almost immediately burned up, and payload weight greatly reduces range. The payload then is limited to a few ounces. And that can never be very lethal. Our military has NEVER tried to use little rockets with such a range limitation. When we want a long range lethal rocket, we make it much larger. When we use little rockets, like air to ground, they don't need much propellant because they are short range, get velocity from the launching aircraft, and gain speed from gravity. We do NOT use rockets at all similar to these Palestinians rockets, except on the 4th of July.
C. Obviously Palestinians are going to be killed from home made rockets, because they are going to have problems mixing the propellant with the wrong pressure for the container. It is very unlikely any of the rockets ever killed anyone, and it is more likely the tens of thousands of rockets fired as interceptors from Iron Dome is what actually killed some Israelis.
D. Anyone claiming Hamas is using human shields is lying. Gaza has the single highest population density in the world. There is no where in Gaza that does not have a civilian population. But the claims rockets were launched from hospital roof tops are obvious lies. How would anyone even get rockets to rooftops? They would have to carry then up ladders. It is not like there are freight elevators to the roof tops. They should have claimed rockets were fired from parking lots. At least that could have been possible. Rooftops is just an obvious lie.
E. Hamas is not deliberately targeting civilians but simply does not have the range or guidance to do any better. So it is perfectly legal. Just like the US incinerating the civilians at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
But there likely are no innocent civilians in Israel. They all do their stint in the IDF and remain on reserve. And since no one in Israel has ever paid for any home, they all know they are in possession of stolen property. They are all totally guilty.
They can't smuggle from Iran or anywhere, because Israel cut off all commerce and inspects all packages.
What about the tunnels from Sinai?
Anyone claiming Hamas is using human shields is lying.
Where are they launching from? Open fields?
Gaza has the single highest population density in the world.
How dense? Link?
But the claims rockets were launched from hospital roof tops are obvious lies. How would anyone even get rockets to rooftops? They would have to carry then up ladders.
Or up the stairs. They have stairs in Gaza, don't they?
Hamas is not deliberately targeting civilians but simply does not have the range or guidance to do any better. So it is perfectly legal.
Where do you get the claim that firing unguided rockets at civilian areas is legal? Link?
But there likely are no innocent civilians in Israel.
Link?
And since no one in Israel has ever paid for any home
Link?
To use the tunnels from Sinai to smuggle Iranian rockets into Gaza, you would have to somehow get the Iranian rockets into Egypt first, which is impossible.
Since these homemade rockets sometimes blowup on ignition, yes, they are launched from open fields, parking lots, etc.
There is no point in human shields because you leave right after launching.
Gaza population denisity.

Typically you don't built stairs to the roof.
The only way to access most roofs is from ladders.
Firing unguided rockets is legal when they are fired in retaliation for worse crimes, like Israel murdering to steal homes.
And we can tell it is legal because the US did much worse, like targeting civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I don't need a link to prove no Israeli has paid for their home.
Israel offers every Jew a free home.
They offered me a free home.
It is well known.
And obviously they can only do that if they are stealing the homes to start with.
And it is well known they did.
They massacred hundreds of Arab villages.
Wrong.
What crimes are being committed by this NM town?
While it is clear Israel is committing mass murder and theft continually.
The UN resolutions are proven enough of that.
You can even just look at a map, and see the wall they built was built on private Arab property, and not in Israel.
If I was in Israel I would be launching my own attacks at all the illegal Zionist settlement.
