Max Blumenthal gives a 100% context of why this uprising happened and why the armed resistance is the LAST method the Gaza prisoners have, not the first and way not the only one.

The inhuman siege and turning Gaza into a concentration camp (as Israeli historian Baruch Kimmerling called it) was supposed to make the inmates of Gaza "bigger animals" - these are the words of Gaza sealing off architect, Arnon Sofer - no, he was not a military officer, not a counter-terrorism strategist, he was a DEMOGRAPHER. The Gaza concentration camp project is a DEMOGRAPHIC project, designed to remove Palestinian factor from a purely "Jewish State". That is why today, Israeli officials talk about "Hamas" only to the subservient Western political elite and Western audience of useful idiots. Among themselves, they use a different rhetoric: "an entire nation is guilty", "flatten Gaza", "kill all Arabs", "they will grow up to hate us". Although a recent CNN fragment reveals the real objective, in an interview with an Israeli soldier, Betzalel Talijah, CNN host had him saying "I'll try to correct you, the war is not with Hamas, the war is with all the civilians". Have you heard this before, "WAR WITH ALL CIVILIANS"? Where will Israelis go next, imagining world civilians trying to harm them?
