""The indiscriminate slaughter of ordinary Jews and their children with missiles packed with ball bearings is a crime against humanity and a wicked war crime, compounded by using innocents as hostages and shields to prevent retaliation.
Which side benefits from the news images of horribly injured children?""

Indeed, your statement, as with most of what you say, does raise some dark thoughts.

Of course the missiles are an unacceptable means of expressing frustration and nobody here is claiming otherwise.

You, however, are denying that the Palestinians have any reason to be frustrated, denying that Israel is in any way responsible for their frustration and claiming that their massive, disproportionate, indiscriminate response is wholly justified, even though they are killing Palestinian men, women and children at a rate that is many times greater than the number of deaths caused by those missiles.

The dark thoughts are increased by the knowledge that you are basing you arguments entirely upon the claims of the Israeli government and the IDF.

And those two organisations are acting as Judge and Jury on their own actions, and executioner of the Palestinian population, terrorist or not.
