Israel and much of the world complain that the suicide bombers are attacking civilians.
I have asked this question before; does anyone think that if the suicide bombers attacked only military personell Israel would be any less upset?
Does anyone think that if the terrorists, that struck the WTC, would have flown all three aircraft into the Pentagon, or any other military target, the US would have been any less upset.
Palestinian civilians are suicide bombers and they attack civilians.
When Israel attack Palestinians with their Army they are attacking civilians, not an Army, because the Palestinians do not have an Army.
Civilians are as much the enemy as military personell are.
Civilians provide the military with fresh recruits.
Civilians supply the economic fuel to allow an Army to fight (In Israel's case it is the economic fuel of the US). After the last incursion into Palestinian cities the Congress appropriated special funds (in addition to the 2.8 billion we give them anually) to resupply Israel's military.
Civilians supply the logistical capability of the military.
The US attacked civilians on a massive scale during the Second World War, on a lesser scale during Korea and Vietnam, but did in fact intentionally target civilians in both of those conflicts.
I have stated before that war is criminal in nature and is a dirty affair and trully civilized people would find other means to solve their problems, but civilization has not attained this level, as of this point in time, and may never attain this level.
I will repeat what I have stated many times: The tactics being used by the Palestinians and the Israelis, only exacerbate the problem (in my considered opinion) and the violence egaged in by both sides, will not attain the desired results for either side.
The wheel continues to turn.

Yes but Israel does not INTENTIONALLY target civilians.
When you have an army who lives among the population its impossible to avoid civilian tragedies.
How in the hell could you be defending a bombing in a University a place of learning. You think that someone deserves to be killed just because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time?
