Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism, Again (Israel)
I support no terrorism, and regard the civilian deaths in Gaza as unjustifiable.
The problem is not with international law, which was devised by the Red Cross and accepted by the governments of the world.
It is not with those countries that abide by the law, as Israel does but with those who flout it.

Hamas flouted the law with its indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
As Ki-Moon said, Israel had no choice but to strike back.
Hamas also flouted the law by operating from among its civilians so that civilians were inevitably harmed in the inevitable counter strike.

I have never called anyone a "moron," but have often been called one by you Jim.
"Know nothing" referred to the fact that some people attacked my knowledge of WW1 history without having read any history about it themselves. That is as personal as I get.
