2 - In any war innocent civilians get killed. Its very unfortunate, but the chance that Israeli soldiers intentionally killed that three year old girl is almost nil.

What do you use as evidence to support your position?


The way the Israeli army has acted in the past. They have been tough on the terrorists. Sometimes they may have not taken sufficient care to make sure civilians are safe, but they don't have a history of directly targeting little girls.

Sixteen is not a child in the ME. He may not be a full grown man but he is not considered a child like he would be here.....even here, he's not a child but an adolescent.

I believe they sent an 11 year old out as a bomber once but he never set the bomb off. Normally they are at least 15.

I never said Israeli children do not die. What I did say is that 4 times as many Palestinian children are killed by Israelis than Israeli children are killed by Palestinian.

I never said or implied that you said that Israeli children do not die. What I did point out in my post was that Israeli children where specifically targeted. The children killed in that incident where not "collateral damage". They were murdered. It wasn't just that no effort was made to spare them during an attack on a military target, they where the target.
