Within the continuum of war and politics, the use of rockets is far
superior to sending suicide bombers targeting busses and pizza 
parlors.
 Sometimes striking back is an absolute political necessity even 
when the
targets are symbolic and the damage negligible. The political 
question, then,
is which target and for what reason is it engaged. When Abu Ali 
Mustafa,
the general Secretary of the PFLP, was assassinated by an Israeli 
missile in
2001, there was no doubt there would be a response. The armed wing 
of
the PFLP took out one Israeli cabinet official noted for his racist
pronouncements and violent threats against Palestinian officials. 
That
military action was taken to achieve a political effect on both the 
Israeli
state and among the Palestinian people then engaged in the second
Intifada.

War is an ugly business and it can not be waged without horrible
things happening. There are reasons that politics takes the form of
armed conflict and it does so from an imperative that has nothing
to do with moral philosophy and therefore it is futile to try and 
analyze
the armed struggle of an oppressed people with moral indignation.
