I believe they do sometimes. I don't believe that the Palestinian children playing soccer on the beach the other day were aware that they were about to be murdered in a most brutal way. Even if they were warned, where would they go? This is their home. They have a right to their home. If Israel wishes to arrest or kill Palestinian aggressors (and they have every right to), let them go in and get them. There is no excuse for artillery and air strikes when targeting individuals. The Israelis have some of the best paramilitary forces in the world, let them go after the bad individuals, not target city blocks.
You can explain this as many times as you want. Israel haters won't get it.The Israelis are targeting the weapons that Hamas uses to rain down upon the Israeli citizens. The Israelis are also targeting the tunnels that Hamas has honeycombed into Israel using the U.N. cement supposedly for the building of schools. One of the tunnels went right by a kindergarten. (Now why would that be? Plans to kidnap and murder some more innocent children like Hamas did to the three boys? I hear that those brutal murders were what started this mess.)
By some people's logic, I could push someone in front of a train and step back and say "What?!? The train killed him!!"
No, you would have killed him, just as the Hamas terrorist who lobs a rocket that makes it through Iron Dome and kills an Israeli is the killer and the IDF agent who directs an artillery strike that kills a civilian is the killer. You have taken to fabricating stances to argue against because you are incapable of defending your position against those stances that are extant here. The Church is very clear on what constitutes a just act of war and She is very clear about collateral damage. Neither Hamas nor Israel are acting in a morally acceptable manner.
How many Israeli settlements have the Palestinians bulldozed and built Palestinian settlements on?Hamas is 100% responsible no matter how you spin it.
I never said they were expedable. The problem is if you show that the terrorists can get away with storing weapons with civilians and you do nothing, ALL their weapons will be stored with civilians and ALL their attacks will come for where the most civilians are. It isn't what I would want but I understand the need not to allow an enemy such a tactical advantage. Israel does alert civilians that they are striking the area and gives them time to leave.
Do you believe that Israel does inform civilians when a strike is coming and give them a chance to leave? Isn't that taking steps to protect life? If they don't leave what do you do? Shrug your shoulders?
I just don't know what to say.
Is there an atrocity on women and children carried out by the IDF that will make you say enough. Stop this now.
What is your tolerance level for Palestinian children having their limbs blown off or killed? 150? 1,500? 15,000..?
Agreed. Both Palestinian and Israeli terrorism needs to be stopped. Unfortunately the latter, funded by the USA, has fuelled the creation of the former.Enough what? I don't understand your hyperbole since I haven't said the loss of life is good. I'm just not a terrorist sympathizer and believe they need to be stopped.

My question is quite clear.Enough what? I don't understand your hyperbole since I haven't said the loss of life is good. I'm just not a terrorist sympathizer and believe they need to be stopped.
My question is quite clear.
What is your tolerance level for dead or maimed Palestinian children. 150? (Clearly not) 1,500? 15,000? Or are there no limits to the amount of children being massacred for the goal of destroying Hamas missile stocks..?
If you're going to dodge the question, just say so..
