Faith BG I don't excuse the Gazans for the atrocities they've committed. I think they're stupid to continue to war with Israel. However, that Gazans do evil and stupid actions doesn't mean that Israelis aren't also taking evil and stupid action. It's akin to the 9/11 attacks. Were the 9/11 attacks evil/stupid? Yes. Were the wars in Afghanistan/Iraq evil/stupid? Yes. You may not "target" children, but you're willing to kill/maim them in the pursuit of your military/political objectives. And you don't use civilians as human shields because you are the dominant force, and control a large enough area that you can separate your military bases from your civilian populations. Gazans are densely packed in a tiny area, 14000/sq mile, about the same population density as London. It would be impossible for their armed forces to be separate from their civilian population.
