    Question for ... somebody?

    I've seen the issue of the "proportionality" of Israel's response raised in several recent articles. Can somebody tell me, how many Israelis have been killed by Hamas rockets since the cease-fire was broken? I think this would be relevant to the debate over whether Israel is "retaliating" vs. "defending", and whether or not it is engaging in collective punishment.
