Israel shells near UN school, killing at least 30

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Hamas used the school as one big human shield.

So if a violent bank robber who gunned down several bystanders flees and hides into your neighborhood, you'll be okay if the police call in the national guard and bomb your area as an appropriate form of retaliation?

Umm. Nice try. If Hamas was using my land to fire rockets at Israel, I would have to be retarded to think Israel would do nothing about it.

Israel is targeting civilians. I hope all US citizens can sleep at night knowing that our administration is in full support of this.

There's a difference between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel may hit civilians from time to time (such as in this story), but they don't intend to kill civilians. It happens, but then again, civilian causalities are always present in war. The U.S. armed forces (and every other military in the world) has unintentionally caused civilian deaths. That's sad, but it's a fact of warfare.

The Palestinians, by contrast, purposefully set out to murder civilians. A "good day" is when as many Israelis as possible are killed in shopping centers, schools, discos, and of course, their homes. Once again, the primary difference here is that the Palestinian nutjobs fully intend to commit wholesale slaughter. Their acts are not one of human or computer miscalculation (as is the case with the Israelis).

Think of it this way -- is it in Israel's best interest to shoot at civilians? No, it's not. Doing so merely gains the Palestinians support through sympathy all around the world. Contrast that with the Palestinians, who don't give a damn what the world's perception is of them and look to the surrounding Middle Eastern countries for support. They're combined hatred of Israel (and by extension, Jews) is what fuels them and public acceptance is a moot point.

You mean Hamas is doing so.

I supopse if IDF wasn't not intending to kill Palestinian civilians but doing so anyway, then perhaps you couldn't include volumes of Palestinians sympathizing enough with Hamasinnocent palestinians

I don't know one palestinian that sympathizes with Hamas or that is for Hamas, however everyone that I do know is against the innocent dying so that Isreal can weed out the militants. I don't understand why it's so hard for some to comprehend this..since when has it been such a strange concept to have compassion?

Just because someone is sympathizing with Palestinians doesn't mean they hate Israeli's. The people to hold accountable here are the Israeli Govt and Hamas, everyone else is an innocent bystander.

Hate breeds more hate....

Hiding among civilians is no different. Mowing innocent bystanders down to get to them makes absolutely no sense, unless of course you believe they are accomplices. Again...fuzzy logic.

Okay Steve, see if you can grasp this. Right now, go throw some fire crackers at your neighbor. Tell me what would happen? You would be thrown in jail immediately.

Correct. And if you, Marc, decided to retaliate by shooting at my house and killing my wife and children, you'd be held legally responsible for their deaths.

Better still, throw some home-made grenades at the police station - see if they shoot back at you

or order "peace negotiations".

The answer is - in a hostage situation or where there are innocent bystanders, law enforcement would be focused on their safety first. You surround the area - telling everyone to clear out.

I was really scared of the crazy steve throwing fire crackers at me and my family. So I cracked his door and threw in a couple nades. maybe Steve should have thought about that prior to messin with me and MY family.

Yep. That's part of the problem - using the military to police the people living in Gaza. There should be a coalition police force made up of Palestinians and Israelis, policing the area.
