At least 545 Arab children have been killed by Israeli troops since September 2000. Nearly half of them under the age of 14. The Israeli troops have killed roughly 2,700 civilians since September 2000, and the majority of them are civilians.
Conversely less than 850 Israelis have been killed including an accidental 100 children and minors.
Despite these facts the Israeli government denies that they are targeting civilians. Using intead, the macabre reasoning that Israel has to bomb civilian apartment buildings to get the terrorists before the terrorists get them.
Their matra of terror can be summed up by an exact quote from the SPOKESMAN of the Israeli foreign ministry.
"If we hadn't killed those Palestinian children, then the terrorist would have killed three or four times as many Israelis."
I bet they wouldn't be so cavalier of "getting" those terrorists if Israeli children were sleeping nearby.
Murder is muder. Period.
I don't believe that Israel stands on a higher moral ground just because Israeli soldiers are dressed in khaki and use F-16s, apache helicopters and flechette shells to kill and maim Palestinian children while Israeli civilians are killed by suicide bombers.
