Are you dumb as a bag o rocks or what ? I have zero issue with the IDF having a bunch of kids stand between themselves and, most probably, the kids buds to get them to STOP tossing rocks at the Hummers. The IDF would not have been in Gaza if it were not for your buddies launching rockets into Israel in order to KILL civilians. I acknowledged the IDF actions. That is why I posted this in reply to you : Meanwhile, a number of Palestinian youths threw stones at an IDF Hummer that was securing the soldiers encircling the house. According to foreign peace activists at the scene, the soldiers then ordered two youths who happened to pass by to stand in front of the vehicle in order to stop the stone-throwing. The peace activist who filmed the act told Ynet, “The soldier closest to me said they were only asking the youths to tell their friends to stop throwing stones.” Now in response to your query Thus the chosen ones are no better than their opponent. Right? I will postulate to you that strapping C4 in belts onto children with the intention of murdering them is not the same. I would guess the kids involved in the rock throwing side of the equation would live another day. Thus the IDF is not equivalent in anyway to your teammates. Right ? Which would you choose ? The C4 or being in a rock fight ?
