And neither do I. Soldiers are fair game. But don't whine when gunships put a couple of Hellfires through the front window of the terrorists' houses in reprisal. And if the terrorists' wives and children happen to be home at the time, tough shite. They know the risks involved with living with/harboring a terrorist.

I have to admit to being very... curious, about your statement of children knowing the risks of living with terrorists.

"Dad, I realize I'm only five, but I think we need to talk about your lifestyle."

Or is the five year-old harboring him?

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

So say , just for example , instead of a hellfire through a front window of a terrorists house you drop a 1000lb bomb on an apartment block to target one terrorist is that OK ?
Of course the 17 other people killed 12 of whom were children all knew there was a terrorist living in one of the flats , as did the 176 people who were wounded .

So did we terrorize the French in WW2 by bombing their cities ? Heck we werent even at war with them. Or did we ever decalre war on Fichy France. Now what we did to the Germans and Japanese makes the Israelis look like peace nicks.

What is terror bombing? I would call the bombing of Dresden terror bombing and one of the most horrific war crimes ever perpetrated. Good thing we won the war. However if you attack a military target and civilians die that the price of war. Many of those in Palestine know who the terrorists are. They also know they are targeted by the IDF. If their smart they will stay away from or turn these people in not hang out with them. The only ones who can stop the terror are the Palestinian people. Once more I ask you , if the shoe were on the other foot do you think Israel would still exist today? That should answer the question what side is the more moral.
