Small groups often use tactics outlawed by virtually every civilised state. You do not launch any attack, or fire from, any building or area, used by the civilian population.

Should you do so, you will deliberately be inviting a deadly response from your enemy. The outcome will be civilian casualties. Saddam used these tactics during his reign, with great success.

Hamas fired unguided rockets from the Gaza, into Israel. They were not targeted, they were indiscriminate. Only luck stopped a large death toll. Israel responded by targeting the area the rockets came from. Civilians died. GREAT VICTORY for Hamas. These rotten Jews have killed our children.

Israel may have done the killing, but HAMAS pulled the trigger.

It was a deliberate act of murder. They knew that any professional army will only target known enemy locations. In other words, the launch, or firing point. Deliberately setting the enemy up to kill civilians has been done for years, its nothing new, but I am amazed at the number of people who cant see past their own noses.

This isnt rocket science, its basic military knowledge. Its called PROPAGANDA, & some of you fell for it.

I disagree in the most fundamental terms. What you are describing and (apparently) condoning are Crimes Against Humanity. Someone likes country a and dislikes country b, fair dos, but trying to legitmise Crimes Against Humanity needs challenging again and again and again.
