  @libertyaintfree, how would you or I know anything about Hamas using children as human shields?

  The Israeli army won't let any independent journalists into Gaza so you must have "special" information. I prefer to believe the words of humanitarian agencies like the International Red Cross and others who are concerned about the welfare of chidren and innocent Palestinians. I suppose, according to your amazing world-view, every single person of the 1.5 million people jammed into the Gaza Ghetto is a member of Hamas, including the children. Even the Israeli spokesman has admitted that the children (30+) seeking shelter in a UN school last Tuesday were killed by an Israeli mortar-shell which had missed its target.

  I don't want to respond to you again. You're beyond reason if you think the way to make peace with your neighbour is to attack from air, sea and land. The bombing was heavier than ever last night, according to the BBC. You are a nasty person, accusing me of being a supporter of Hamas/Hezbollah. That's all you've got, totally ridiculous accusations, when the rest of us in the free world have heard that Olmert is boasting that he's going to smash Hamas with an iron fist. It doesn't really matter if babies or the sick and the old get killed. They're only Palestinians.

  The only thing worrying you is that Uncle Sam, Israel's Sugar Daddy, might cut down on the money it's sending to Israel when so many Americans are losing their jobs and trying to survive in an economic recession. You send shivers down my spine with your pretence that all you want is peace.
