This just in: Israel returns fire on Syrian targets from the Golan Heights

[Sava]

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about defective Gazan rockets "falling short" or blowing up at launch and killing Gazan children.

If children are trying to launch rockets, it's their own damn fault if they get killed.

[The Mad Monk]

3?

More people will die from gunshots today in Chicago.

And if Cuba launched 7882 rocket and mortar attacks against America and killed 3 people, I would think the US would be going to far by bombing apartment buildings in Havana.

Are you stupid? America would be up to Daisycutters and fuel-air munitions long before the Cubans got up to 7882 attacks.

Ah, you are stupid. Nevermind, then.

2 people dead, 4 hurt in 3 shootings across Chicagoland today. Need a third casualty? A guy got hit by an ambulance and died.

Damn. I should have said car accidents. I'm finding more deaths from that today than shootings.

I didn't say what the US response would be. Of course it would be something like that. And it would be as much of a war crime as what Israel is doing.

Ah, you are stupid. Nevermind, then.

It took you this long to figure this out?

According to random Israeli official on CNN a few days ago, most of the rockets being fired against Israel do not contain explosive warheads.

That's reassuring. Only some of the rockets being fired have explosive warheads.

Israeli tourists visiting a major US city are under more of a threat of death than Israelis in the path of the rockets.

[Asher]

Those harmless attacks are killing their own children.

And strengthening the cultural importance of Hamas. Israel is ensuring every generation of Gazans grow up with a hatred for Israel -- something you can't blame them for. To them, Israel is aimlessly killing civilians regularly.

Owner Suleiman Tawil, 31, grimly surveyed the damage to his store and six company cars. “I’m not involved in politics,” he said. “I’m a businessman. But the more the Israelis pressure us, the more we will support Hamas.”

Fuad Hijazi and two of his toddler sons were killed Monday evening when missiles struck their one-story shack in northern Gaza, leaving a crater about two to three metres deep in the densely populated neighbourhood. Residents said the father was not a militant.

No they're not because most of the homicide victims in a major US city are poor blacks. Is Israel's response proportionate? Not really, but it's perfectly understandable and Hamas bears most of the blame for dead Palestinian children.

If the neighborhood children egg my house and I shoot at them, killing one or two, is it their own fault?

Well, I suppose it depends on whether or not the kids are muslim.

Similarly, provocatively dressed women bear most of the blame when they are raped.

Are you putting Palestinian adults on the same level of mental ability and maturity as children? And are you claiming that rocket attacks, a terrorist act that actually kills people, are comparable to egging someone's house?

Do provocatively dressed women try to kill random people on the street?

There is no such thing as raping someone in self defense.
