""how many children were playing on the beach when the Israelis targeted them earlier today, killing them all?""......and could the Hamas government, responsible to protect its citizens, prevented it by stoping the launching of rockets towards Israel yesterday -long enough to even consider the terms of the Egyptian sponsored crease fire?

But the children on the beach, and the people in the old folks' home, and the guys watching the World Cup in a coffee bar, were killed by Israelis. Israeli bombs and bullets. I'm not being emotional in telling you that, am I? I'm stating a fact that you and several other Israel apologists here seem to find a little uncomfortable. You may kill someone and you may be justified in so doing. But if you kill someone you need to have the bravery and the honesty to say that you killed them, not someone else. And you should be able to justify the killings. Now, as for the latter point, what about those children, those old people and those football fans...?

Anyone remember why the yanks quietly stopped talking about "collateral damage"?
