Guest 'Arnie' whoever you are....
you asked, 'Do you believe it is Israeli policy to attack civilians'

Well it certainly is the 'policy' to reduce the life behind the Aparheid Wall to such unacceptable and sub human levals that well respected independent organizations and Jewish peace activists refer to it as the war crime of 'collective punishment'

may I repeat what I posted earlier

'In February Isreali deputy defence minister Matan Vilna threatened Gaza with "they will bring upon themselves a bigger 'shoah'* because we will use all our might to defend ourselves"'

*the word "shoah" is rarely used in Israel beyond discussions of the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews
