[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]Right now, they are putting kids bodies in ice cream coolers because they ran our of room .Some people call Hamas Terrorists and some call them Heroes. Some call Israel a terrorist state and some call it a legitimate state. Children are children,[b] if you kill them intentionally [/b]and try to justify the reasons behind doing that, then everybody will call you a terrorist. Period.[/quote]

I agree with every you say except for the implication of what is in bold.  I am 100% certain that Israel is not killing kids intentionally.  That kids are dying is a tragedy.  But they are not being killed intentionally.

I think it is really important for those who support Israel but are still committed to being objective to come to terms with what Israel is doing. I have no evidence that the Israelis are intentionally seeking out children to kill. But, it is quite clear that Israel is making no real effort to avoid killing children and, indeed, is making targeting decisions knowing that children will be killed.

Just last night Israel bombed another UN school. We have become used to the routine now. Israel will say Hamas was storing weapons there, or launching weapons from there, that it was actually Hamas that bombed it, that it was Israel, but one of its weapons misfired. There will be a ton of excuses but none will explain why this is the seventh UN school to be bombed (schools not run by the UN have also been bombed). If these were truly accidents, Israel would have started implementing steps to avoid them. Instead, they keep happening. It really seems to me that the Israeli government is sending a message that killing children is not an obstacle, hoping that it will be one more way to put pressure on Palestinians to, in turn, put pressure on Hamas. But, is is far long past the time that we all accept these children are being killed as part of Israel's strategy, not by accident.
