And what is it when Israelis kill innocent civilians? Your double standard is embarrassing.

Israelis haven't made a tradition of targeting Palestinian school kids.

This conflict is so once sided, its pitiful.

There is simply no argument that can be made to change the basic fact that Palestinians target innocents while Israel targets combatants. Unintended deaths occur at the hands of Israel from time to time. There are no unintended deaths at the hands of the Palestinians, who try to kill every Israeli they can.

I find it personally repugnant to watch people try to make the case that Palestinians murdering Israeli innocents is somehow the same thing as Israelis unintentionally killing innocent Palestinians.

When these sorry suicide bombers screw up and don't die in the process, they are carried to an Israeli hospital where they are given the best medical care possible.

The number of Palestinian civilian deaths exceeds the Israeli civilian deaths by a third.

Probably true but then some of the Palestinians are being killed by other Palestinians deliberately, others are killed wither accidently by Palestinians attacking Israelis or are just caught in the crossfire because the terrorists are using them as human shields. If the IDF displayed the same lack of concern about Palestinian civilians that the terrorists display about Israeli civilians then there would be genocide or ethnic "cleansing" of the Palestinians.
