The fact that Muslims are blood-thirsty throwbacks to a medieval time does not justify Israel's deliberate murder of their children.
Israel does not deliberately murder Gazan children.
At what age do you think that children are no longer children and become combatants?
You can go look at the numbers the Gaza Health Ministry and those who aren't even in the teen years don't even hit 1% of the total of the under age 18 crowd. Now if you are looking at 18 being the magic number then to date they have been 13.2% even though they are 50% of the population plus the ratio of male to female deaths in this age group is 2:1. But you can throw out all these numbers and look at the 1000s of photos online of Gazan children wearing military uniforms and doing military exercises as simply "Summer Camp Fantasy Play".
The instances of Israel deliberately targeting civilians are too numerous to mention. Israeli artillery fire has targeted both hospitals and U.N. schools/refugee centers AFTER they have given their coordinates numerous times (all documented) to the Israelis.
What I find interesting is how the American mainstream media continues to cover this. One good example of this is NBC News.
Quote:
Ayman Mohyeldin, the NBC correspondent who was playing with a group of Palestinian kids moments before an Israeli attack killed four of them on a Gaza beach yesterday, has been pulled from the region. According to a report by Glenn Greenwald at the Intercept, the network demanded Mohyeldin leave immediately, citing "security concerns," although it also sent a different correspondent, Richard Engel, to Gaza.
While Mohyeldin has experience covering conflict in Israel — NBC poached him from Al Jazeera for his Middle East coverage — Engel's accompanying producer has never covered Gaza from the ground and, according to the Intercept, does not speak Arabic.
Anger with NBC's blatant attempt at censoring the truth has caused them to reverse course:
The only people in the world who still are blind enough to not see the truth are Israeli's and American conservatives. It's no coincidence that both groups have a propensity towards killing innocent civilians while remaining safely insulated from the death and destruction they cheer for.

No one is cheering the civilian casualties.
How did this battle start again? Oh yeah, Hamas shot a few hundred (now thousand) rockets into Israel.
While I am not a fan of the US-Israel partnership, mostly because of the huge sums of money and blind eye we give to them, I believe Israel has all rights to do what they are doing. Gaza is one giant urban area, there is no place there that is absent of civilians. Hamas sets up right among the civlians and really, it is the only place they can defensive wise. There are going to be civilians killed. The US even kills civilians in drone strikes, let alone full on urban warfare.
Fact is, if Hamas would have not started attacked Israel, Israel would have not attacked Gaza, it is that simple. Even Arab countries are tired of Hamas and Palestinians in general.
