""Ah but of course Don you are not in the firing line are you, so you can dismiss them as harmless fireworks.""
Much as you dismiss White Phosphorus aimed into civilian areas as "illuminations or smoke screens".
Ever had a phosphorus burn T?.........I have, albeit in a laboratory situation, but I can still feel that burning through my wrist to the bone.
""6,000 of them since Israel withdrew from Gaza in August 2005.""
So who are all those people still in disputed residence in 2011?
""Three of the dead were infants, and many of the hundreds of injured are children with life-changing injuries.
"Every little helps."""
And how many dead or maimed children are there in Gaza Keith, or are they not as important in your scheme of things, as whitewashing anything the IDF does, as justifiable defence?
Until people like you stop trying prove that all blame attaches to the Palestinians, and recognise the indefensible ruthlessness of the IDF, progress toward peace remains a pipe dream.
At bottom this is the David and Goliath story with Goliath armed with nuclear missiles.
As I said earlier, both sides have to want peace for this to end, and it won't happen without compromise on the part of Israel, as well as Palestine. And there is no evidence to support that the word "compromise" is in the Israeli vocabulary.
