They are not apathetic. They throw parties

That's new. What parties?

The Israelis do not rejoice over dead Palestinian kids, try to avoid killing them, and investigate their deaths.

I would be disappointed if they did. And what happens after the investigations? Has anyone in the Israeli army ever been convicted for unnecessarily causing some Palestinian child's death? (Just asking. I don't know the answer)

Carpet bombing of Tel Aviv, I should think

I doubt it. Even putting aside the human element, and the fact that Muslims also live in Tel Aviv (which would probably be a no-no for them), it would be a Very Stupid Thing indeed.

Why hasn't it happened to Ramallah?

Because it is a Very Stupid Thing indeed, and would turn the world opinion as well as the US opinion against Israel faster than you could say "Jerusalem". And we all know the life expectancy of Israel in the Middle East without American support is about the same as that of a snowball in the proverbial hell.

By the way, carpet bombing of Ramallah sounds awfully close to "genocide". Would it not be really very strange if a generation after the Nazis the Jews were to engage in their very own crime against humanity?
