112. that logic makes the US the bad guy in WWII.....
the fact that israel has learned to be better at killing and defending has nothing to do with morality.....israel killed more egyptians, jordanians, syrians in 67 and 73 than were israelis killed...yet its clear who attacked who in those wars and what the intentions of the arabs were....


and defending.....the kassams kill so few, not because they arent deadly but because israel set up an early warning system and has bomb shelter and kassams shelters all over the area.

morality is based on the intention of the act (thats why courts have first, second and third degree murder degrees-a person maybe dead, but the intent of why they are dead is also important)

Palestinians as per your morality have the OK to target civilians if it works...meaning its moral to try to kill as many little babies and paralyzed people in wheel chairs if the result is a free Palestine.

The ends does not justify the means........just because we're more skilled at killing and defending does not make us immoral.
