Is Obama's drone war legal?

At least a plurality of Palestinians voted for Hamas.

So they don't want peace. Hamas' charter expressly states that there is no peaceful solution.

When one side on a conflict has expressly stated that peace is not an option, then what are the Israelis supposed to do? The parents are inculcating their children in the culture of Hamas. They train their children to be suicide bombers so the lives of Palestinian children quite obviously are not valued by the Palestinians. Why should the Israelis feel any different?

The Arabs tried to crush Israel in 1948 and failed.

I say sending a drone is better than a strongly worded letter from the UN or a press conference. Legal.......who cares about that today? If you can run the country without a budget for year upon year, borrow half the money we spend by forcing debt limit crisis after crisis, and then on top of that force people to purchase a product they don't want why not drones?

Because we (and the Israeli's) need to be the better human beings.

I don't have an answer, but I cannot support pre-emptively killing children because their parents are twisting them. I know that the poison is wide-spread, so the only other solution may be a big-government type where rational Palestinians and the Israeli's work together to take those children from their parents and deprogramme them. That sounds horrible, but that's all I can come up with. Other suggestions from the rest of you would be welcomed.
