Civilian casualties and culpability therefore
This photo, which I found on some Free Republic post, is allegedly of Hamas fighters, well-armored with human shields:
See all those kids around the Hamas fighters? If any of them were hurt or killed by Israeli counterfire, their blood is on the hands of Hamas, not Israel. If you fight without uniforms and use civilians as shielding or camouflage, you are responsible for their deaths, not the uniformed soldiers on the other side who shoot back. As Austin Bay observes, Hezbollah is using all of Lebanon as its shield. Do not become confused on this point, for it is essential to understanding the morality, or lack thereof, in this ugly war.

The terrorists have the advantage of being the bad guys. They don't have to conform to any standards of honor, decency or morality. Whatever happens, the media will spin it in their favor.

This is a photo op of the resistance awaiting the helicopters delivering the hated Zionist pigs.
They are going to destroy them and parade their heads on pikes.
Another photo op, and more education for the children.
Sorry bastards.

Papa Ray... Pallywood?!?!?! Well, I wish you were right but you probably are so-not.
Fundamentalists are poorly educated people, who have no clue of what love and compassion are... Not for their people nor for their own children.
These babies should be playing soccer or something, not standing in a possible line of fire.

I'm sorry, my last comment was for Don Cox.
Papa Ray, what a disgusting way of talking about other human beings. Hopefully it will never be your head or your family's paraded on pikes. How human beings can portray such lack of compassion towards others is impossible to understand from where I stand.
I wish you enough hate so you can learn to appreciate love and compassion.
