It seems that many people are concerned that innocent people were massacred by the Israeli army during "Defensive Shield". They seem to be talking about the sanctity of live, I would argue, Palestinian Lives.

I am raising a few points here, that may be worthy of discussion.

1. What do people see the role in terms of observing 'Geneva Conventions' by a terrorist group?

2. If your enemy uses the 'Geneva Conventions' to hide behind, is a government required to obide by them, or are they tools of the enemy and hence subject to attack?

3. If life is so important to those who condemn Israeli actions, why have I yet to see people from the left condemn the killing of those who have been alleged to be 'collaborators'. Do only terrorists have rights?
