Regular contributors to this news section know that I am no supported of Islam, or show any anti-Semitism, but this is not about religion, but the disproportionate slaughter of innocent children, women and the old.
When is the Israeli government going to be taken to task over this?

"What I can't quite understand about all this is the fact that a large proportion ABers seem to support Israel over this, that's what's puzzling, why? " - I am not supporting Israel as such I am more supporting the right of self defence. The way I see it is that Hamas sill not stop firing missiles and thus Israel is always retaliating. If you were in the pub having a drink and there was an annoying bloke in the corner who kept firing at you with a pea shooter, I'd support your right to go and smack him in the mouth. If after several smacks in the mouth he has not learnt that: firing peashooter = bloody nose then I have no sympathy and indeedd would ask the question, are you simply supposed to tolerate this annoying twerp?
Imagine you came home from the pub one evening and found a family of squatters in your house. All of them give you a good kicking and them drag you to the garden shed.
'You can live here if you're quiet and don't protest about us taking over you gaff,' one says. 'But if you do protest we'll be down to give you another unmerciful beating'.

I think that sums it up pretty well TTT.The deaths of the innocent is shocking,as was in Coventry,London,Plymouth et al during the blitz.Life is cheap to Hamas.They revel in the pity shown in their plight and are the cause of the deaths of their own people.The innocents are being made unwilling martyrs to the Hamas cause.

wrong analogy, sandy and AOG, the man with the peashooter is hamas/Gaza, AOG is Israel. Israel are not attacking other nations. So AOG if he carries on after you smack him, what then?
Sandy, I accept your point about the land situation but if I arrive home and squatters give me a kicking, I'd be stupid to keep going back, I'd find another way. I agree Isreal ae wrongbut that's irrelevant to this situation, gettng your own people slaughterd because you are right does not help, firing misslies or not firing missiles are not the only options. Hamas and the wider palistinians would get more world support if they sought peace and reclamation through proper channels.
If a truck mounts the pavement do I stand my ground and get squashed because I am in the right?
