Sarmad, please show us one example of Israelis shooting a pregnant Palestinian women and her young four daughters under ten at point blank range, and videotaping the event - as happened recently to an Israeli woman and her daughters.

Be sure, if you do find it, I will condemn it equally.

Of course I am "opposed" to killing innocent people, whether deliberately or by accident. Actually, I am "opposed" to killing people, in general.

Before I reply, let me ask for a clarification. Are you opposed to all killing of children?

I'm opposed to deliberate targeting of unarmed civilians..

By all sides.

But I'm also opposed to military forces seeking to use children as human shields, or locating their forces in civilian areas as well..

I'm also opposed of armed forces dressing in civilian attire, rendering them indistinquishable from the unarmed civilian population.

I'm also opposed to armed forces using religious or humanitarian facilities to store their weapons and ammunition.

I'm also opposed to political and military leaders strapping children with explosives and sending them off to blow themselves amongst enemy civilians (or military).

I'm also opposed to armed forces using civilian and humanitarian related equipment for military purposes.

So I guess I have to ask if you oppose the same things I do.

And then I have to ask if you acknowledge that Palestinian forces have been guilty of all of the above.

Please do us all a favor and actually strive to answer the above question, rather than defaulting to your normal denial and avoidance posture.
