"Lest you forget, beardedbruce, for every Jewish Israeli civilian you can list who has been killed by Palestinians, there are SEVERAL Palestinian civilians who have been killed by Israelis."

Least YOU forget, the Palestinians are TARGETING civilians, while the Israelis are targeting those who are making bombs and launching rockets. If THEY are not valid military targets, then you are right-
But I claim the number of civilians DELIBERATLY targeted would show a far greater number of Israeli dead than Palestinian.

You have never seemed to comprehend that civilians killed while attacking a military target are a different thing than civilians deliberatly targeted as civilians. Still regretable, and all step[s should be taken to reduce that number to the absolute minimum possible, but NOT the same. IF the terrorists/freedom fighters choose to have military targets in civilian areas, as prohibited by the Geneva conventions, there will always be the chance of innocents being killed or injured.
