Frantic thread creeping to avoid Lox's simple question Jim.
The massacres, whose details are still disputed, were nearly thirty years ago.
I have no idea what the hostage thing is about.

"There has been no evidence apart from Israeli claims that Hamas set up their rocket launchers in civilan area, "

Just go to google images and put in "rocket launch gaza city"

"Even if Hamas had wanted to, they could not have deliberately targeted Israeli civilians as the weapon launchers and the circumstances in which they were being used were not capable of being aimed accurately. "
They are accurate enough to aim at towns.
The towns are not military targets.
By replacing explosive with shrapnel they are intended tp kill and maim, not destroy structures.
It is ridiculous to say that civilians are not deliberately targeted.
They are, and you are the only person in the world, never mind this thread, I have ever heard make that ridiculous claim.

You have supported Hamas rocketing, so you have supported the deliberate targeting of civilians.

I do not support anyone who does that.

So we have Jim, the self proclaimed atheist, liberal, pacifist supporting war crimes committed by a right wing fundamentalist religious group.
You are a joke.
