[The UN General Assembly] Further recognizes the right of the Palestinian people to regain its rights by all means in accordance with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.[emphasis added]
General Assembly Resolution 3236, November 22, 1974
---
According to the International law Palestinian resistance factions have the full right to resist any kind of occupation on the land of Palestine, as well as the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people in West Bank and Gaza grant the Palestinian resistance factions to use all tools and means of resistance against the Israeli occupation forces and the armed Israeli settlers.

I put the following into my previous post, but let me put this by you again.
Think about that: 5 different Israeli cities were hit by Hamas rockets, and in each city schools are hit. It is difficult not to come to the conclusion that schools are being targeted--unless of course you are a member of the Goldstone Commission.1692. Where rockets have landed in towns and villages in southern Israel, they have caused localized property damage. This has included private houses1036 and cars.1037 During the operations in Gaza, a total of nine schools and kindergartens in Sderot, Beersheba, Ashdod, Ashkelon and Kiryat Ha Hinoch were hit and damaged by rockets.1038 Two kindergartens were struck and damaged by rocket fire in Ashdod.1039 On 8 January 2009, a Grad rocket hit a school in Ashkelon.1040
That puts todays Hamas attack on a school bus in context.
How could the Goldstone Report tell us about "the apparent inability of the Palestinian armed groups to aim rockets and mortars at specific targets"?
Maybe thats one of the things Judge Goldstone later realized--before he recanted again.
When will the UN put its foot down?
Then again, I can see how having feet of clay would make that difficult.

One can see the hypocrisy of international law.
Which would appear to exclude "Jewish children" from the usual protected civilian categories.
Maybe we can ask Goldstone for a clarification. We should at least know if Hamas is prohibited under international law from deliberately targeting them.
