Unless you know of a war wheere no civlian has died, then Palestinians deaths are a tragic consequence of Hamas setting up rocket launchers on top of houses and schools. And what do you think Palestinian rockets in Israel are meant to do, tickle? The fact that they largely miss is irrelevant, Hamas celebrate every hit that succeeds. Are you familiar with the Hamas covenant? I suggest you read it and understand why Israel needs to take this action. My guess is you didn't take much action over the slaughters in Congo, Rwanda or indeed when this was occuring in Lebanon - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/may/22/syria.marktran - but you're right, I don't know. I'm just curious as to why Israel gets so much devotion to its actions, when there are plenty of other crimes going on in the world.

There can be no excuse for this. All Israel have achieved is make many more people angry enough to join hamas and other similar groups. The difference this time is that Israel has made many other people around the world angry. Maybe even Israel biggest (and probably only remaining) friend in the world, the USA, will withdraw its support. If there is any justice left in the world, Israel will get done for war crimes for bombing UN buildings and using phosphorus in a densly populated civilian area.

If you tell them a crime without telling them the parties involved, their answer always depends on whether which side Israel is on. If Israel wants peace, it has to stop talking about Israeli army vs terrorists, and start thinking like men with gun vs other men with guns. Doug,

Who do you consider responsible for the Second World War? Hamas are the enemy of the Palestinian people, not Israel. Are you aware of the many Israels hopsitals where Palestinians are being treated? Of course not. And where was your post when Palestinians were being slaughtered in Lebanon refugee camps? Or when 200 died in the Congo at the weekend? And did you stand up to be counted when genocide hit Rwanda? Thought not....next.....

Course not....oh, and of course, everyone will wait for you to swing back and then go on marches etc as to how violent you are, ignoring the the 6000 punches on the other side.
