Lets take this extreme ideal example:
Community one (C1) and community two (C2) are stuck on an isolated island with limited food. C1 and C2 do not like each other. C1 has control of food and decides to limit the food available to C2. C2 becomes starved. C2 then decides to attack C1 to get food.
As you can see through that example and other examples such as the American revolution or the French revolution, fault does not always lie at who shoots first.
As I have shown a tremendous amounts of time, Hamas most likely fired rockets at Israel because of the siege placed on Gaza where Gazans are going hungry and lack medical supplies. I have heard other reports where Israel led a secret mission into Gaza but I can not back it up so I will not use it but that does remain a possibility.
This situation is not as simple as "Hamas shoots first so it is their fault", this is a very large string of cause and effects. If you elect a government that says they will destroy Israel, Israel will start a blockade. If you blockade Gaza and prevent them from getting adequate food, they will fire on Israel. If Hamas fires on Israel, Israel will unlease a ground attack. If Israel unleashes a ground attack, Gaza will......
