I understand the point here but I do wonder if there is the same outrage about the rockets that are fired into Israel indiscriminately?

I wouldn't want to have any kids in your neighborhood! I can hear you saying it now: "I shot that little girl 13 times cause I thought she might nave a bomb!"

From the replies so far, I'd say nope.

He had no good reason to believe a 13-year-old girl had a bomb.

And even if she did (she did NOT) . . .

You don't shoot a child under ANY circumstances. Bomb or no bomb.

No need to wonder. The left ignores the Palestinian acts of terrorism and magnifies any perceived injustice against them.

Really? You have to allow yourself and your friends to be blown up so that the child doesn't get killed alone? If that's the position and the other side is going to use kids, you simply end up with a lot of dead kids and a lot of dead soldiers on your side. Why is it the case that when you become a soldier you give up the right to defend yourself?

YOU think he had no good reason to believe the 13 year old had a bomb. You were not there.

YES, you do shoot a child under circumstances, although extremely rare. If a brainwashed child is walking into a crowd of people about to kill and injure dozens of adults and children, you are just supposed to shrug your shoulders and ignore? I don't think so.

I agree 100%.
