"I am afraid that is precisely the argument that has been used to justify attacks aimed at civilian targets"
It was exactly the excuse that the Nazis gave for the Lidice massacre following the assassination of Heydrich.
Keith has regularly accused Hamas of using human shields and hiding in occupied area - seems that his argument here is a movable feast to be applied as it suits his argument.
He has also stridently denied that he is in favour of killing hostages - which he appears now to be supporting.
"The six say that it is counter-productive for Israel."
Yet they also say that this is what was being done.
You have yet to respond to the fact that this is now regular practice by the Israelis, particulsarly during the last Gaza incursion (or are the links you have been given also "lies"?)
