Oh, I agree. But I also like the fact that Israel is finally ending the harassment.

They are only civilians because Hamas allowed it to be reported as such. Of the list they allowed out, how many on that list did they report as belonging to Hamas?

Well I guess those 8 people in one family who were just killed today failed to get the "notice."

Also, the civilians have nowhere to go---there is no somewhere else. They are trapped.

The murdered children who were infants and age 12 and under were not terrorists. Geez.

Should we allow the terrorists to use their own children as invincible shields?

Should we surrender just because our enemies lack morals and decency?

Do we have to lose wars because they have human shields?

If we give in to this, we will see much more of it. Everywhere.

How do you know that Palestinians are using their children as "shields?"

One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter.

The ground assault is to find the underground tunnels and destroy the infrastructure that allows Hamas to move rockets from one location to another. Think of it as an underground transit line. Going after Hamas members individually is difficult since they wear masks. Thus when the masks are taken off, they can simply hide among the population. So basically the ones they are killing/capturing are the ones still in uniform or wearing masks.

If this is not barbaric , I don't know what else you call it.
This wouldn't even be happening if the Arabs had accepted their state in 1948. All they have done since 1948 is make poor choices. The Arabs didn't accept the recent cease fire, another bad decision. They may as well kill themselves. Oh wait, they do.
