Just for shits and giggles, I'm going to just go with gabonx's own numbers here and treat them as real. So, 10-20% of the civilian people killed by Israel were actually killed by Hamas and another 20-30% of those killed were legitimate targets killed, I assume by Israel?
Ok then, by Gabonx's own number, between 50-70% of the civilians killed were killed by Israel. Well hell! That makes it all better then!
Israel are the good guys because they've only killed between 50-70% of the civilians!
How many hundreds of people is that?
Meh, all the cheerleading you do for Israel, gabonx, is not going to change my mind about how bad it is to kill civilians penned up in a box. You may be able to turn a blind eye just because those people happen to be Palestinian, but to me they are still human beings. And I have the same opinion of the US drone bombings, the extra judicial murders of American citizens overseas by our own government as well.
It's illegal, it's wrong, it's counter productive, it's immoral and it's unethical. Just because it's Israel doing it to Palestinians doesn't make it right. No matter what justification you are using it's still just throwing gasoline on a fire and it's stupid. Sorry, but I can't cheerlead for stupidity.
Fighting fire with fire doesn't work so well with stupid.
