[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Israel should respond to every rocket attack with a devastating artillery barrage. Keep killing the Palestinians until they quit or are all dead.[/quote]

That is the current strategy. How's it working?[/quote]

Israel is targeting terrorists, not the general Palestinian population.[/quote]

In that case, Israel has really bad aim. Israel has killed more Palestinian children than fighters. [/quote]

That is not true.  According to al Jazeera,  82% of those killed were men with 66% being between 18-38 and a large portion bring older than 38.

I don't know where al-Jazeera is getting it's numbers or if you quoted al-Jazeera correctly, but the Washington Post has an interactive graphic here using UN figures:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/world/gaza-counter/

It shows 87 armed Palestinians killed and 144 children killed (out of 443 Palestinian civilians).

Edit: Here is a second report, but I think based on the same UN report, that shows similar figures:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/palestinianauthority/10984259/Revealed-the-Palestinian-children-killed-by-Israeli-forces.html

This one has the name and age of each child killed.
