beardedbruce - I did not say that Israel had a policy of intentionally targetted civilians. I do, however, reject the concept of 'collateral damage' when Palestinian children are killed by a single bullet from a sniper. It is the failure of Israel to investigate and prosecute those soldiers responsible for the indiscriminate killing of children that I object to.

Killing children is no way to gain allies. I supported Israel until I became aware of the plight of Palestinian children. Who in their right mind would support what Israel has done to them? As far as I'm concerned, Israel has given up its right to exist because of its inhumanity.

If you weren't so busy defending Israel's right to exist, you might take some time to look at the number of Palestinian children who have been killed by Israeli soldiers. The conditions of the children living in refugee camps is appalling. How can those who have lived through the holocaust (and their children), justify the terror of these children's lives?

Maybe it is the Jews who have forgotten.

Israel has no more right to exist than those Palestinian children.

btw - Carol and I are not the same person. We have never met. On occasion, we also disagree.
