Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Israel's military "uses its weapons to defend its civilians. Hamas uses its civilians to defend its weapons,"

So, Jim:

Name ONE Palestinian killed who was not
1. Firing on or attacking (Israeli ) forces
2. Being used as a human shield by Hamas
3. In an area that was a legitimate military target- i.e., near a launcher that Hamas had set up.
4. In the quarters or operations center of an (Hamas) military leader



Now, name ONE Israeli victim of Hamas in the last two years who was ANY of :

1. Firing on or attacking (Palestinian ) forces
2. Being used as a human shield by Hamas
3. In an area that was a legitimate military target- i.e., near a launcher that Hamas had set up.
4. In the quarters or operations center of an (Israeli) military leader


So Israel follows the Geneva conventions, and Hamas does not. Hamas goes out of it's way to violate those conventions, in order to maximize PALESTINIAN civilian casualties, AND YOU SUPPORT THAT.

If Israel was TRYING to kill Palestinians, they would just carpet bomb the entire Gaza strip- Like the Allies did to Germany.

If you cannot see that Israel is trying to reduce the Palestinian civilian casualties, and that Hamas is trying to increase them, you are not only blind and bigoted, you are an incredible fool.
