[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Happy that my tax dollars are going to support the defense of Israel and helping to kill the Hamas terrorists and their Palestinan co-conspirators.   Fight on IDF![/quote]

By "co-conspirators" you mean "children"?  [/quote]

Children are the red herring.  However, there have been incidents where palestinian children (teens) have been used as suicide bombers.  I am not sure when this story is from, and it appears to be from the West Bank, not Gaza.  But...

I do not condone the bombing of shelters.  Ever.  However, the Palestinians -- not sure of the legal entity responsible (it might not be Hamas) have used woman and children as vectors of attacks.

I despise this.  I despise the targeting of children....There is no moral high ground when children are used as instruments of war.[/quote]

That incident was an al-Aqsa Brigades attack. It had nothing to do with Hamas. Regardless, even despicable actions by Palestinians don't justify intentionally targeting their children. If Israel wants to act on the same moral grounds as those who use children as bombers, then it deserves to be treated the same.

Calling the deaths of hundreds of children "a red herring" is indicative of the dehumanization of the Palestinians that is common among Israel's supporters. These dead children were real. They had mothers and fathers. They matter. They are not red herrings. [/quote]
