Don't let facts get in your way, nice A-rab comment.
Don't forget that Palestinians killed and KILL people trying to support Israel.

You seem to forget that Israel tends toward retaliatory strikes, and the Palestinians kill indiscriminately.

Don't let the facts OR the truth get in your way.

They've killed many innocent parties over the decades since their country was formed unilaterally by your country among others!

Now let's talk about how many of them have been killed by suicide bombers riding their public buses, sitting in their sidewalk cafes, wheelchair bound while on a cruise ship, attending world olympics and other occasions over the same decades and how many of those have been committed by stupid A-rabs!

They both kill pretty indiscriminately. White phosphorus isn't really much more accurate then a Qassam rocket, especially when you drop it on a place with a population density of 12,000 per Sq. mi., and it kills a whole lot more people.

The Palestinians hide their military assets on purpose among women and children. So Israel in order to defend itself can't completely avoid causing Palestinian civilian causalities On the other hand, the Palestinians primarily target Israeli civilians all the time. As already stated, the Palestinian Authority has received foreign aid all these years which they should have used to develop their infrastructure rather than just developing their military might.

WOW now this is a thought........

Seems most the time we see pictures their all standing around waiting for someone to tell them what to do, while carrying guns......sounds a little familiar as to how some on the left likes it.

I think the issue is the use of white phosphorus generally on densely packed civilian areas areas, lets not kid ourselves anyone who does that really doesn't care about civilian casualties. It is basically akin to dropping napalm on a city in that it covers and burns a large area indiscriminently. Investigations by human rights watch and amnesty international basically suggested that it was a war crime. The fact, that Israel initially tried to deny that they were using it seems to suggest that they knew what they were doing was not acceptable.

Here is a picture of what a white phosphorus attack looks like. As you can see unlike a missile attack it is totally indiscriminent.

Missile attacks are indiscriminent when they aimed at the general population as well.

Missile attacks do kill civilians, but with the advanced weaponry the US and Israel have you can do a precision strike which is much more targeted then just blowing up some white phosphorus above a neighborhood. That was how Israel killed Ahmed Jabari just recently.

Exactly. They should tunnel under the walls and let it flow into Israel.

Actually I was referring to the missile attacks launched by the Palestinians against Israeli civilians.
