"Don't twist my words, civilians do suffer during the war but they are not targeted." You're quite wrong. We deliberately targeted civilian populations in WW II, as did the Germans. Not just in Japan, we also fire bombed Dresden Germany with a massive bombing raid, just to name one. This was carried on into the Cold War, where we targeted Soviet cities, just as they did ours, with nuclear annihilation.

Don't twist my words, civilians do suffer during the war but they are not targeted. There are Palestinians who would disagree with your assessment. And before you come back with some holier than though comment about the Israeli soldier, let me remind you that Israelis are human too and are just as susceptible to such human emotions and reactions as outrage, revenge, hatred etc. There is no war between Israel and Palestinians or otherwise Israelis would just wipe out all of the palestinian targets. Israel does not wipe out the Palestinians because the world is watching. Nonetheless, there is a war between those two peoples.
