hate to point this to you.

Now in an ideal world, we wouldn't even be having this conversation... but do tell me... and try to connect some dots here.

Why is it that the arab street is exploding, but the governments of the ME are strangely silent on this?

It could not have anything to do with the nature of Hamas, now could it? Nah, just that the Israelis and every Arab guv'ment hates the people and the Palestinians, yep, that must be it... (And by the way, this morning NPR was pretty nice with the Arab street... Yehud is JEW, not Israeli... so I had to go... how much more of their translation of the Arab street was doctored)

As to civilians, yes it is a tragedy, but until whatever hells are put back in that bottle, until next time, unfortunately. all I can do is watch, and try to see if and when EITHER side breaks the rules... which brings forth MORE casualties

Technically speaking... HAMAS putting a MHQ in the middle of a densely populated city is a violation, FYI. Just as it was when the IDF placed that artillery battery in that corner. So if I was going to be fair, I'd say that as much as the Israelis are targeting this MHQ, why is hammas placing it there? I know about city density, but still, the choice of where things are built, is not just it was open.

Oh and do tell me, since you are that concerned about Civilians, how exactly did Hamas end up in charge in an area where they can launch every day of the week, and twice on the Sabbath?

See the point about the silence from Arab Governments for some dot connecting...
