Your post certainly contains some interesting testimony, and if it is indeed true, then something certainly needs to be done. I, of course, did not imagine that you would be able to dig up a source. So I was wrong about that. However, I definitely would like to see something more than a single person giving their story.

Even taking that into account, I still seriously doubt that you can support your assertion that a majority of Palestinian deaths are caused by this. Again, you're welcome to prove me wrong.

Or, perhaps, you're failing to make your point.

I am an American. But I do not place the blame for the conflict solely on the Palestinians. Both sides are responsible.

I also strongly disagree that the above child was killed by "Israeli Terrorists". The bombing of that building was a tactical operation against a man that was responsible for the deaths of many innocent Israeli civilians. Israel has a great interest in eliminating those that are attempting to bring about their destruction.

The Hamas/Palestinian extremist argument might make sense if they were only carrying out operations against military targets. However, they're not. We've been over this a thousand times before on the Cellar, and undoubtedly we're about to embark on it again. Let's go ahead and clear this up right now: <b>the death of any innocent civilian is tragic, but the intentional killing of an innocent civilian is reprehensible</b>. Suicide bombings, besides being counterproductive, are reprehensible. An Israeli tank firing shells into a market is reprehensible.

However, Israel does not target innocent civilians. How often do you read about a suicide bomber taking out innocent civilians <b>and</b> an Israeli terrorist? <b>NEVER</b>. Mainly because Palestinian suicide bombers are too busy targetting little girls and their mothers.

I can't even count how many times Israel has killed innocent Palestinian civilians <b>but</b> also taken out a Hamas leader. I don't think it's just by accident that they keep killing these senior Hamas military leaders. No, I would guess that it's because the <b>targets</b> of Israeli attacks are, in an overwhelming majority of cases, Palestinian extremists.

Ah, yes. I see. It's okay to kill a couple of those dirty zionist kikes. Of course, heaven forbid that a Palestinian be killed.

You have to treat the murder of civilians equally, no matter what side they're on. If it's okay for Israeli civilians to be killed then it's okay for Palestinian civilians to be killed too.
