Both the Palestinians and the US military think they are doing what needs to be done to protect their interests. Just as the policeman who fires at a gunman who is spraying AK-47 fire into a crowd but misses and kills an innocent child, and the rapist/murderer who kills his victim to avoid her being able to identify him, also are doing what they think needs to be done to protect their interrests. The result of their efforts is that innocent people are dying. Same in my example. So, you think a police officer who is shooting to protect innocent victims but inadvertently kills an innocent person, and a rapist/murderer who deliberately slaughters his victim, are equivalent. If you think that Palestinians are rapist/murderers and the Israelis are good cops, then, like I said, you're bias is showing. As much as you might try, this feud can not be wrapped up in a pretty ribbon and put on the shelf. And certainly the cast of characters are not nearly as black and white as you portray them.
