Subject: RE: BS: Gaza Strip 28/9 June 2006
One thing I want to make clear. I don't think Israel has a policy of targetting children but I do think Israeli soldiers target children. As Carol said, 119 Israeli children have died and more than 700 Palestinian children. If you were Palestinian what would you do? I know that if they killed my children, I'd strap on a bomb in a heartbeat.

I suggest you look at the sites regarding how these Palestinian children died. It wasn't shrapnel, it wasn't bombs. It was usually a single, well aimed bullet. Do you dispute the findings of the Physicians for Human Rights? That means the Palestinian kids were murdered and the Israeli government condones it by not investigating.

You keep asking why Hezbollah does not withdraw from the borders but do you realize that the Lebanese government does not control Hezbollah? Thats the problem. The Lebanese people are being punished for the actions of Hezbollah. The Israelis have no business waging war on a country for the crimes of a few. It is not the Lebanese government launching the rockets! How dare Israel wage war on a country that has not attacked them?

Its the same problem the U.S. has. You don't wage war on a country so that you can capture a few criminals. Too many innocent people die. ...and you don't put people in camps and cut off their supply of food and medicine. How can Jews treat people that way? Shame!

I once supported Israel. Never again!

Like Carol C. said, wait until the foreigners are evacuated. Israel is going to blow Lebanon off the map and that includes innocent civilians and their children. I hope the whole world condemns Israel for their atrocities and their ethnic cleansing. I also hope it is Jews who will call a halt to Israel's overkill. Afterall, its their government.
