Don, re the casualties in the recent conflict.
You have accepted that Hamas is "evil."
That evil is manifested in indiscriminate missile attacks that terrorise ordinary people and prevent them going to work or school or living acceptable lives.
In your opinion Don, what should Israel do to stop them?

Try to attack the missiles and activists while trying to spare civilians is what they did.
Over a thousand targets hit from land, sea and air in a densely populated urban area, but less than a hundred civilian deaths, and some civilians willing shields and martyrs according to Hamas.
Such a low casualty rate is unprecedented in military history.
That shows how hard Israel tried.
Perhaps they should have tried harder.
I wish the numbers were even less.

"According to investigations now completed by DCI(Defence for Children International - Palestine Section ), 33 out of the 158 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza between 14 and 21 November 2012 were children. Two additional children were killed by Palestinian rockets falling short and one child was killed whilst participating in hostilities, giving a total of 36 child fatalities."

I know.
One child death is too many.

"DCI concludes investigations – Children make up approximately 23 percent of fatalities in Gaza"
Children represent 50% of the population of Gaza, so at least they were slightly under-represented.
