By Neve Gordon and Nicola Perugini, published 22/7/2014

Houses, mosques, schools, and hospitals are 'legitimate' targets because they are presumed to be weapon depositories.

Here is Israel's Daily Butcher's Bill for the rape of Gaza:

Palestinians murdered: 572*

Israeli civilians murdered: 2

Israeli soldiers killed: 27

Israeli Army's Kill ratio: 20 to 1.

* The UN estimates 78% of Palestinian dead are civilian non-combatants.

For Daily Slaughter data see right-hand side-bar of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Protective_Edge

A special mention for the the Israeli Army's SS^ Netanyahu Division

and Israel's Merkava' factory.

^ SS = senseless slaughter
' Merkava, of course, means the act of crushing a Palestinian 4 year old with a heavy tank in Hebrew. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkava

Numbers don't count, unless one were to consider this terror as some sort of game.
She simple fact is, rockets are being launched at them daily, so they only have two choices, react militarily or give in in some way, allow the Palestinians to dictate to them. Then what, more rockets, more demands?
Obviously that's impossible for them, so in they go, they have no choice's about the battlefield or the rules of combat, the Palestinians are dictating those already by their own actions.
The poor victimised Palestinian civilians also have choices.
They can choose to stop the rockets, those are their buildings and homes, or they can permit them to continue, then they get to choose between packing up their children and getting out from under, or they can stay put and cop whatever comes.
You can't lay the blame for their presence on the Israeli's, they'd be only too happy to assist getting those civilians out of the way too!
A clear shot at their enemies? With their gear?
You can bet your sweet bippy they'd LOVE to help!

Plantegenet: The UN estimates 78% of Palestinian dead are civilian non-combatants.

There are no non-combatants in this type of war. There is no need for the women & children to be killed. All they have to do is move away from the area like they were told to do. If they didn't, or worse were not allowed to by their Combatant husbands, then that becomes their fault.

Plantagenet: Israeli Army's Kill ratio: 20 to 1.

A great Ratio, better than any Commander could hope for.

Plantagenet: Merkava, of course, means the act of crushing a Palestinian 4 year old with a heavy tank in Hebrew.

I remember seeing a similar photo of Palestinians destroying a 4 year olds child arm, on purpose, by running over his arm with a truck. But it seemed that that was acceptable as it was done by Palestinians.

Merkava means "Chariot."

Go the Isreali's Yeahhhhh.....

Yes Merkava does mean "Chariot."

Just goes to show you can read.

Your views seem to be an Israeli death is a tragedy while 100 Palestinians being murdered is a "bean counting" bore.

Or are you actually fair-minded, deep down?

Cheers

I bet the Isreali's aren't even worried about the killing being Hal'al. Bar $teds. I wonder if the Isreali's do Mulesing?, maybe that'd be a great idea. They should try that.

I suppose we'll have PETA getting into the act soon too. ;-)

How come no one is demonstrating about the 20000 rockets HAMAS has sent over into Israel? Is that fine, can they do that without any remonstration at all? Strange that.
