Anyone have numbers for how many children have been killed with Hamas bombs versus how many children have been killed by Israeli bombs? I know that during Operation Cast Lead Israel killed around 500 civilians while the other side killed 10.
Just for all of those pretending like Hamas is just going crazy for no reason. They have a legitimate right to defend themselves and resist the occupation of Palestinian land. As long as Israel keeps the Palestinians in a state of blockade and apartheid anyone who supports Israel is no better than those who treated blacks as subhumans in the early history of the US. Apartheid is apartheid and treating someone a certain way because of their race as a state policy is wrong and some of the most respect people on the subject, including Nelson Mandela, have referred to the Israeli regime as an apartheid regime.

No one is pretending Hamas is the only one's causing this. Of course Israel is just as much to blame. When it comes to body count, well it's no surprise Israel would likely kill more they have better weapons.
The reason many of us side with Israel, is because no matter what they do it's not good enough. You can't make a deal with someone whom think you shouldn't exist. That's what Israel is dealing with, they are dealing with people whom will; always want to destroy them because their religion tells them they should.
You simply can't make deals or have a lasting peace with another group when 90% of their population isn't interested in keeping the peace. It would be like going to the ghetto, and having the preachers agree that no one should sell drugs.. How well do you think that would work? Think thew drug dealers and the addicts would just stop because the preacher told them to?
