What would you suggest that Israel should do when 250 rockets are shot at their towns from Gaza?
Secondly: From what I read, out of 18 dead, 16 were militants. Why would you not mention this important fact? Otherwise it sounds like 18 totally innocent people were killed. On the on the other hand, if you did mention it, we would have to admire the Israeli effort in targeting the militants and doing their best in avoiding the civilian casualties.
And finally, do you think this will bring about a better world if we apply different standards to Israel than to all countries in the whole world? (I mean nobody would ever dream of condemning any other country for responding to rocket attacks on their cities…).
