I understand that there were no casualities and that since the "rocket" was "...made out of sewer pipe, propelled by a mixture of fertilizer and alcohol..." and had no guidance system, that kindergarten was not deliberately targeted. Of course the morality of sending homemade rockets willy nilly into civilian areas has to be severely questioned. But so does the morality of sending top of the line well targeted, far more destructive missiles into areas where one knows for certain that children are present and will be killed and maimed for sure. Please don't ask me to be more horrified by the intent of one against the intent of the other. Although I have to be more horrified by the fact that the Israelis can inflict far more harm by their so-called "self defense" than the Palestinians can by theirs.
