Mrrzy, after starting with profound good sense you, unfortunately, lapse into ignorance. Islam recognises that the God of the Jews is the God of the Christians is the God of Islam.

One question - just WHY is the death of a child so much worse than the death of any other non-combatant? Emotionally I know I feel it to be so, rationally I can't come up with any convincing explanation.

I will also reiterate one point about the Middle East conflict . . it can only be resolved by those with the power to resolve it, which means Israel or the US. As long as the Israelis choose to imagine that the Arabs have no legitimate grievance, and that further violence is the only possible response to violence, they move themselves ever further from being able to live in peace, safety and security in their homes.
