Challenger, et al,
I don't believe you know how ridiculous this statement actually sounds.
You don't give a sworn enemy of the state any advantage in Jihad (Holy War) that has the objective of dismantling you sovereignty.
Suppose we had given the Germans the "Spitfire," during the Battle of Britian, to even the odds?
Suppose we had given the Japanese a couple of extra "Aircraft Carriers" in the Pacific Conflict, just to even the odds.
(COMMENT)
In a war, the object is to "win;" not to give the opposing force the opportunity to win.
As far as the "indiscriminate" fire by HAMAS ("the fireworks that come out of Gaza are unaimed and unguided, you cannot claim "targetting" of anyone or anything") is concerned, that is a violation of Rule 11: Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited, Customary International Humanitarian Law (IHL); plain and simple. The Palestinians are always whining about human rights violations, yet the entire HAMAS war campaign is based on war by IHL violations.
This is foolishness. Come to peace terms or quit whining.
Most Respectfully,
R

"Jihad and the armed resistance is the right and real method for the liberation of Palestine, and the restoration of all the rights, together with, of course, all forms of political and diplomatic struggle including in the media, public and legal [spheres]; with the need to mobilize all the energies of the nation in the battle."

(HYPOTHETICAL)Targetting children and unarmed civilians with weapons of terror is not defence or resistance, it is an act of terrorist aggression....
Since the fireworks that come out of Gaza are unaimed and unguided, you cannot claim "targetting" of anyone or anything. It's not Hamas' fault if they point their rockets at the IDF and they veer off-course. Perhaps the Zionist JSIL should provide Hamas wityh advanced guidance technolgy and weapons so they can target the IDF fairly and squarely, you know, a level playing field.
