The Arabs have fired 100 missiles at southern Israel this month, and 1000 since the beginning of 2006. Their intention is to kill Israeli civilians. When Israel fires at Gaza, their intention is to kill those who are launching the missiles, and to leave innocent civilians unharmed.
So the question remains, why do the Arabs have a gripe if the party at whose citizens they are launching missiles fires back?

Because they think it is OK to kill jews. And are angry because the jews dare to defend themselves. I call it "having unrealistic expectations"
OTOH, maybe they hope Pelosi will force the israelis to move- to madagascar?

Because they have the exact same thinking pattern as the Jews that fire on them.
It's the vicious circle of violence that's been going on in the Middle East since before the beginning of recorded human history.
However, I think you're being a bit biassed here. To say that Israel only attacks specific points to knock out arms or whatever, and Arabs are the opposite, just shows that you aren't paying attention, or just want to be provocative for no good reason.

it helps to look back at the past. in the 40s after ww2 the jews had no place to go but isreal . there is a good movie thats been playing on turner classic movies and american movie channel portraying the facts of what happened. is a good movie for historical value yul brenner and john wayne are in it. maybe you can get an idea of why the things that are happening there are happening. if you look at it from the arabs perspective , the jews are the terrorists but if you look at it from the jews perspective they were givin that land by God

It is unbearably sad to see so much killing, on both sides. It is so important that the leadership of both countries pull out all stops to bring about peace. That said, we get graphic, close-up pictures of Palestinian people grieving their losses on television, but not of the Israelis in their suffering. The press treats the two groups differently. I have no idea why. If the US is purported to be so pro-Israel, why does the press not show them as much sympathy?
Back to your question, I think that taking offense is exactly what they are doing. Offense against offense, continually. It has to stop. Each side has to take responsibility for stopping their own offensive.

they don't see themselves in a war but a legitimate resistance. and you know if the arabs had settled this before 1967 peacefully mind you, israel would not had to secure the borders as they are now. they do not have the ability to reason and settle the problem without death and mayhem. i think they should move all palestinians up north next to lebanon and then settle border dispute with rational people. as i have said 1 billion times. disarm hamas-peace grows, disarm israel-death and destruction ensues.

Why does israel fire fully automatic weapons at kids throwing rocks and fire missiles at the wrong targets most of the time?

They gripe because the missles are more expensive than stones.
