The usual Israeli "explanations" are infuriating even to me; I can't imagine what the relatives of those killed today would say (or do!) in response. There is a fundamental disconnect here I always find astonishing, even when it happens over and over again with folk who seem to reason as you do. "Limited attacks" is yet another term guaranteed NOT to resonate with someone who's child has just been perforated (or crushed) by Israeli bombs, debris, shrapnel, and the like. In short, your argument is to repeat the official Israel line on all this.

Israel is trying to ...Lets put this in perspective. Israel is trying to stop a terrorist group that has no problem hiding among and killing civilians. Israel unfortunately is limited to carrying out limited attacks to target this group and in the process civilians will tragically be killed. To limit their own casualties, they have fought this war mainly in the air and one can argue that a ground force would save more civilians but kill more Israeli soldiers. These links put the moral difference into its proper context. http://vitalperspective.typepad.com/vital_perspective_clarity/<BR/>http://www.powerlineblog.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
