a true tragedy for israel.
That's the way Israel is portraying it. I swear to God, Allah and the Buddha, who for some reason never gets a shout-out in matters of holy war, that the next Israeli who moans that Palestine is "endangering Israeli children" is asking for a serious, ass-raping nuking.
Good point. Does anyone know about the circumstances under which they were kidnapped? I'm assuming that Hamas performed the kidnappings, and not the actual civilians who're now been right royally screwed by Israel's air strikes. This war wouldn't be so bad if Israel were using its advanced technology to, you know, attempt to avoid killing civilians. I mean, shit, there's always going to be collateral damage, but when you're not even trying to avoid killing civilians, you're going to get a bad name for yourselves.

You bet he does:

etc.
They're not ballistic missiles, I'm assuming, which is both a positive and a negative factor in their defense against their actions.
One could argue, for example, that they do not have the technology that Israel has (which is true) and that they have therefore resorted to using unreliable missiles which, as the Israelis are arguing, are threatening Israeli children. Problem is, the death toll is much higher in Gaza/Palestine than it is in Israel, who, with all its advantages, shouldn't have to be killing civilians to get their point across.
