>>which is more tragic, a dead palestinian, or a dead Israeli?<<

I don't think that it is right to fire rockets at civilians.

I don't know who is firing the rockets or what the intended targets are.

I am told that the rockets are very primitive and difficult to aim.

On the other hand I do know that Israel has access to the the most accurate weapons on earth ant that they manage to kill hundreds of Palestinians for every Israeli who is harmed.

Our supposed good friends and allies had earned more respect than rag tag bands of insurgents. But with that respect should come responsibility, not knee jerk disproportionate violence.

Isn't the actual moral question

Which is more tragic, hundreds of dead palestinians, or one dead Israeli?

Or Millions of suffering Palistinians vs a few Israeli militant settlers who have to run to a shelter once in a while when the alarms go off.
