The murder of one person would be just as tragic as the murder of an entire girls' school?The son of a terrorist is killed and it's a heinous murder...
hundreds of Palestinian children are killed and it's excusable collateral damage, somebody else's fault, or a mixture of the two.
Apples to oranges! If the Jewish Terrorist who have succeed in blowing up the girl's school in East Jerusalem, that would have been tradgic, a HUGE TRADEGY! But this horrendous murder is just as tradgic! And the man that did this is a monster.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you here.
But, of course, the deaths aren't Israel's fault. In spite of the of the ever-increasing toll of Palestinian children killed by the IDF, Israel is guiltless. The deaths can always be blamed on some other person or organization, because obliterating a civilian area with indiscriminate munitions like bombs and white phosphorus shells is absolutely necessary for Israel to defend itself. Attempting to strike military targets, or hunting down perpetrators without killing everybody that happens to be around them seems to be out of the question.Cast Lead was a military operation in which Israel was responding to over a year of military attacks. Hamas forced their hand and Israel needed to react. War is hell, but Israel was targeting militants who hide within civilian locations. Every civilian that was killed during Cast Lead was TRADGIC and VERY UNFORTUNATE, but Hamas declared war by constantly firing missiles into Israel. Israel needed to react and the reaction was justified. Palestinian children bleed just like Israeli children bleed. They are innocent in a deathly game between adults. Every child that dies during this conflict is highly regretable!
