Oh those poor Palestinians

[Gandalf]

Desperate times = desperate measures.
Why is there no compassion towards any innocents who are caught up in it the ones who are damaged and cant drag themselves out in front of a camera?
Why take a side in it at all , or is it justification of a political alliance? Both sides use deplorable measures, its just one side has more technology and more cash and more freedom available to it, those things do not automatically make its acts holy and righteous either.

This is the important point. Hamas does not represent all Palestinians just as the hardline the Israelie Government has taken is not representative of the feelings of all Israelies. Just because some Arabic news media is happy to used faked propaganda this does not discredit the overwhelming statistical and independently verified evidence of widespread innocent civilian casualties gathered and presented by reputable agencies. The babies, children and women killed cannot be described as anything but innocent victims. It is also equally insensitive and duplicitous to use this tragedy as a point scoring exercise to further a political agenda in which the thousands of rockets fired, suicide bombs detonated and executions by terrorist factions carried out by Palestinians or their supporters are conveniently ignored in an effort to blame the USA and Britain.

You don't think you are exagerrating the Palestinian menace somewhat? Currently there are 28 dead Palestians and 3 dead Israeli's. It is easy to blame terrorists on the Muslim side, but the Israeli military is state sponsored terrorism. As usual the force distributed from the Israeli side is massively overblown. We saw the same thing with 1400 killed in the massacre of 4 years ago with the majority being women and children. That is terrorism. Land theft is crime. If there was no occupation there would be no need to resort to rockets. And lest we not forget that this latest upset was caused by the needless Israeli murder of a 12 year old boy.
