Israel is the superior military power. It was a crime for Hamas to attack them with rockets and then hide behind civilians.

Hamas Pulling Back Into Crowded Cities, Beckoning Israelis
For Hamas — an Iranian-backed movement that has no formal army but has committed itself to attacking Israel with whatever weapons it can muster — the objective is to survive and to show the world that it continues to engage. Even though Hamas fighters largely have avoided battling Israeli soldiers, they keep firing rockets into southern Israel.

More than before, however, the rockets are now coming from the cities and the refugee camps, where most of Gaza's 1.5 million people live.

Israel accuses Hamas of deliberately attacking from populated areas to drive up civilian casualty figures and stoke anger toward Israel in the Muslim world.

They say, 'We're fighting among our people for our people's freedom,' " said Nassar Ibrahim, a Palestinian journalist based in Bethlehem who does not belong to Hamas.

…the movement's leadership, which has been in hiding since before the offensive began, remains.

Deaths caused by Israel: 1400 ( half of which were women and children )
Deaths caused by Hamas: 20 (including IDF soldiers)

I will indulge you in splitting hairs for a moment, but we are losing the point…

Here is what I stated: "the problem is the syndrome of focusing exclusively on Israel to the detriment of investigating – or the brushing over of – the Palestinian side of the equation."

Let me explain to you what that means… It means producing report after report on Israel, dedicating most of the time and resources to every detail possible at the expense of investigating the Palestinian issues any further than issuing a broad report about rockets.

So you see, the criticisms being raised are that Palestinian crimes are being brushed over, with references being made only to the rocket-fire and ignoring everything else.

Concerning the letter to Haniya, let's see how well his kind deal with these human rights issues. We shall see.

And in Gaza, Israel must not limit access to water. That is unacceptable.

On Oct 20, HRW sent a Letter to Prime Minister Haniya about conducting credible investigations into serious laws-of-war violations by Palestinian forces.

Concerning the mechanisms of an open democracy dealing with these issues… naturally it will not all happen immediately – but the process is working:
