    Did you know, that the Israeli Knesset voted against a law that would have prevented Israeli soldiers from using Palestinian children as human shields? Nice try with the lie that Hamas uses children as human shields. By your standard, 9/11 was acceptable, because people who participated in whatever Bin Laden was POed about might have been killed hiding amongst the civilian population. Your hatred of the Palestinians is pathological, and your refusal to see reality staggering. Go read Ben Gurion's bio, or interviews with those who served alongside him, like future PM Sharon. Their goal has been to slowly inflict genocide on the Palestinians while still claiming victimhood. That is how they dupe people like you into supporting their butchery of women and children in a foodless, waterless, medicineless refugee camp.
