Far, far less of them, of course.
Loads die elsewhere in the world. Their death is no more special than others dying for reasons that are just as spurious.
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

I'm sure you'd agree with me that their tragic deaths were poorly commemorated by the over 200 children's lives that were taken in their nameOriginally Posted by Furunculus

Re: 10 Children of Gaza
the death of any children in armed conflict is always a tragedy.

And if killed through excessive or negligently used force it's criminal is it not?

Re: 10 Children of Gaza
What you fail to understand is that international law states:
> a nation state can take military action to achieve a military advantage even if it has civilian consequences, if its purpose is to secure the physical wellbeing of its citizens.
> that it is the actor that employs a human shield, not the actor that accidentally kills the human shield, that bears legal responsibility for the death of that human shield.

Re: 10 Children of Gaza
I hope you are not saying that these palestinian children were not military targets or that the Israeli action was disproportionate .I'm sure you'd agree with me that their tragic deaths were poorly commemorated by the over 200 children's lives that were taken in their name
Because the most moral army says.....
So according to that zionation site there were 3 kids killed in a 8 year period and as a proportional response over 200 were killed in a 3 week period .Military action can be taken only against military targets.
The use of force must be proportional.
