Protesters at SJSU [opinion]

Anti-Israel Protestors

Protesters have been on campus protesting what they are alleging are atrocities being committed by Israel against Palestinian civilians.

  • Israel had been under rocket attack for eight years.
  • Recently Hamas has been firing missiles from Palestinian population centers in Gaza, using Palestinian civilians as human shields.
  • The Hamas rockets have been targeted at Israeli cities hoping to kill civilians.
  • I wonder how long we would have tolerated rockets being targeted at our cities (like San Jose) before we would respond militarily?

The death of Palestinian civilians is a tragedy. I totally defend the right of the protesters to protest. I just think they're wrong to blame only Israel and not blame Hamas.
