Are you being purposefully obtuse??? That you use the term "Zionist" betrays bigotry. Wanna discuss?
My use of the term Zionist is purely descriptive as this so called “Jewish and democratic state” was founded by and is largely inhabited by either ardent Zionists or those who passively subscribe to Zionist ideology.
Bigotry? Perhaps; I am, like most reasonable human beings, inherently predisposed towards being intolerant towards those who routinely imprison, torture and murder another people because they are of a different religion or ethnicity.

First of all, basic math...it's 7.5%. But that is unimportant. Do you want your children growing up in a world/land/region constantly bombarded with rockets? Not knowing where they will land? It is a very small nation, after all. Shit, you don't even have children, and can't even do basic math. More to the point, why would any sovereign nation put up with ANY rockets launched at them? And what, prey tell, justifies the rockets? You call the ancient inhabitants of Jerusalem "colonists," and you think that justifies rockets tossed at villages and homes? What colonization? Your illogic is embarrassing and dangerous.
Ouch, you got me, I forgot to multiply by 100

(checks to see if civilization has collapsed and they sky has fallen down) but you are right, my mathematical faux-pas is as unimportant as it is irrelevant.
The important point is that only a tiny fraction of the projectiles fired from Gaza fall anywhere close to military targets or population centres.
The world/land/region is not “constantly bombarded” with rockets, this is just a myth propagated by the Zionists for the gullible. Rockets or mortars are normally shot off only after some form of provocation by the Zionist colonisers. When they want to test a new weapon or do some “live fire “exercises, they “poke the monkey cage” until some Palestinian’s patience snaps and they set of a few projectiles in the general direction of enemy territory (that have a 7.5% chance of hitting anything other than sand or rocks). The Zionists were taught this tactic by none other than Orde Wingate and his Special Night Squads in the 1930’s. A small unit would drive through a targeted Palestinian village late at night and shoot it up; this would provoke a retaliatory response against a Jewish settlement. This later attack would be heavily publicised and used to justify a major attack against the targeted Palestinian village.
The justification is simple, just look up the Maquis, or the AK, or any of the myriad of other resistance movements against the Nazi Occupation in Europe during WW2. Every people have a fundamental right to resist oppression and occupation by whatever means they have at their disposal.
The ancient inhabitants of Jerusalem are long dead and so is the temple cult that controlled them. Interesting you mentioned that as Temple Judaism was mainly centred on that city and the Judean hills; there is no evidence that Temple Judaism was ever a universal or official religion in historical Palestine.
Colonisation? Palestine was colonised by Jewish Europeans, but you know that anyway. I regret the embarrassment you feel Mr Spock, but you are right, knowing the truth is dangerous.
