That's a serious question for Israel supporters, by the way, and while it might seem facetious, the nature of pro-Israeli reaction to what is going on in Gaza means that what you would, under normal circumstances, assume to be ridiculous questions, must in fact be asked in a serious manner.

I'm wondering if there is anyone else including that person willing to come and talk to me today about it? anyone care to explain the logic behind this to me because to me the official line doesn't add up. Overnight another 30 Palestinian homes have been attacked killing one "militant" and two of his sons.... "Israeli aircraft struck 30 houses in the Gaza Strip early Friday, killing a leader of the militant Islamic Jihad group and two of his sons, while ground troops and Hamas gunmen fought intense battles in the north and center of the territory, Palestinian officials said." "Such strikes have also claimed the lives of a large number of civilians. A Gaza human rights group said earlier this week that close to 500 homes have been damaged or destroyed in direct hits from the air, and that more than 320 people have been killed in their homes as a result of military strikes." From what I can gather from reports so far is that there has been seven confirmed civllian deaths from the overnight air strikes and shelling along with a five year old kid dead due to being shot in the head. and you can nearly be sure there are more dead civilians buried underneathe the rubble of those houses and adjacent houses/buildings hit overnight and many injured. If as the IDF are claiming they warn people before blowing up their house what is the point in doing that if that person isn't going to be there? and the militants they do get well they obviously didn't get a warning as if they did logic dictates they would leave as soon as they could before being taken out .what about the civilians then who didn't get a warning too. and the other people in adjacent buildings or on the street who didn't get a warning you can't bomb built up areas and not cause damage to the surrounding buildings. "We are targeting militants yet warning them??" narrative doesn't make sense to me. why would you do that . and if they aren't there why would you still target the house knowing that. The Israeli logic/strategy/excuse does not stand up to scrutiny. is anyone willing to try explain the logic behind this "tactic"???...or is it as I suspect a systematic and deliberate destruction of Palestinian homes and to hell with the civilian consequences.http://nypost.com/2014/07/25/israeli-airstrikes-hit-30-gaza-strip-homes/http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=716111

But of course my opinion is that Hamas fires from these position because they know the Israelis will then target that area. I also wonder why the school was still populated when they were told by the Israelis last night to have the school cleared before 10am this morning, as that area would be targeted by Israeli forces between 10am and 2pm today. It's been known for a while that the time would come when israel would need to consider taking the weapons out on the ground. it was pure evil to situate them where they did and it is clear that israel did what could be done to minimise the damage unlie hamas who are as always going to great length to maximise it. if one rocket was launched at the UK never mind the intensity of the attacks aimed at israel all hell would be unleashed and there'd be a sight more collateral damage into the bargain.

Israel need to step back. There is no winner here and it's just an endless cycle of killing that needs to stop. I don't believe Israel is targeting school or hospitals purposefully. I believe in the fog of war, errors occur. And be it that they are targeting Hamas firing from these areas, or they have made errors in judgement or trajectory calculations, it needs to stop. Hamas won't stop. They have no regard for life in any way shape or form. So Israel must. I'm leaving it at that for tonight, and I'll go to bed safe in the knowledge that I won't come under rocket fire in my sleep.(although I'm fairly close to the Ukraine border tonight, so maybe sleep with one eye open)

Hamas is targeting civilians. They're just very bad at it. *Cue mentions of the beach attack.* That was horrendous and whoever ordered that should be tried and imprisoned for life. But if you honestly think that Israel, with its weaponry, was specifically targeting civilians as its end game, then the death figure would be 60,000+ right now.

Either the IDF are deliberately targeting innocent children or their gunners/targeters/intel guys are so inept that they consistently hit innocent children. Which one do you think it is?
