You and others are doing a much better job than I could at explaining things but, I agree with you FULLY and want only to add my voice as supporting Israel and expressing sorrow at the way the terrorists have forced them to fight.

If opposing forces wear black and white uniforms and fight only others with uniforms, that's one thing.

On the other hand, if you antagonize constantly with rocks, then human bombs and rockets, and hide your assets in highly populated areas, hospitals, schools and ambulances, there is NO OTHER WAY to fight. OF COURSE the terrorists know this and rely on the human emotion of sorrow at suffering most of us feel -- especially when we are not aware of the despicable way terrorists "fight".

Because opposing forces are not equal in strength, they use public opinion as a real and powerful weapon.

So, if you are attacked, you either resist with force -- or you give up !!
