What if Mexico fired tens of thousands of rockets into the southern United States over a 22-year period in a bid to get Texas back?

[quote]Since 2001, Palestinian militants have launched tens of thousands of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip as part of the continuing Arab–Israeli conflict. The attacks, widely condemned for targeting civilians, have been described as terrorism by the United Nations, the European Union, and Israeli officials, and are defined as war crimes by human rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The international community considers indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets to be illegal under international law. Palestinian militants say rocket attacks are a response to Israel's block of Gaza, but the Palestinian Authority has condemned them and says rocket attacks undermine peace.

From 2004 to 2014, these attacks have killed 27 Israeli civilians, 5 foreign nationals, 5 IDF soldiers, and at least 11 Palestinians and injured more than 1900 people. Their main effect is their creation of widespread psychological trauma and disruption of daily life among the Israeli populace.[/quote]

...To get Mexico City back, while its being starved and bombed.
@Burnley123 The question relates to Texas which the U.S. took from Mexico. Was Gaza starved and bombed in the early 2000s?

@flipper1966 I know a bit about that history and that was wrong.

Your post seems to be saying that if they did it now, would that be ok. Of course it wouldn't.

If that is what you meant, the analogy doesn't work
@Burnley123 My point is what would the U.S. government reaction be? What would residents of the United States expect the U.S. government to do?

@flipper1966 Then or now?

@flipper1966 Well, if Mexico invaded, you would have the right to resist. You are not bombing or starving them and you haven't had them under military occupation.
