The whole point of the Israeli BACKLASH against Hamas and the refugees in Sabra & Shatilla (sp?) is that the Koran-thumping Islamists are so cowardly that they have to hide mixed in with the population (including women & children) and they are supported by their families (including morally and religiously supported) . Yes, it is a crying shame that extremist Muslims hide behind women and children, but this is the way they would have it. SURE, that doesn't mean it will FEEL GOOD when they get blasted, and they are going to bitch and moan when they get hurt --- but it is NO SECRET that Arabs, Muslims, Islamists, Palestineans and all those ISLAMISTS around the world -- place VERY LITTLE value on human life, AS OPPOSED to Israel. The blood of an Israeli child is worth more because Israelis and Jews alike around the world place a higher value on human life than any Islamist -- moderate or extreme -- ever would. Simply because he has been raised on the beliefs of Mohammed.

Think about it -- the crimes against other Muslims even, their Sharia law, the suicide bombings -- this is all about Islam, not Israel. The Muslims (including the moderates who say nothing because they know what they are taught) fight for a Caliphate / their idea of "peace" only when Islam rules the WORLD, but Israel is fighting to exist. There is no other Jewish "nation". There are plenty (and growing more daily with all of their jihad across the world -- Thailand, Philippines, Somalia, Sudan -- they already took Egypt, Afghanistan and Indonesia, and even Iran, in addition to others) of nations that are inhabited by Muslims.

Their Koran teaches them to conquer and defeat and keep the land, loot and women for themselves. They think they have a right to it because Mohammed said so. Remember, Allah's word cannot be changed.
