"That comparison is obscene. Israel is not targeting civilians, there is not mass starvation in Gaza, and it can hardly be suggested that no communication is being allowed from Gaza."
So it's fine to compare dud rockets that rarely hit anything but sand to hi-tech, guided weapons deliberately aimed at dense population centers (by pilots who face no enemies) that kill hundreds and maim others...most civilians. On the other hand it's NOT acceptable to mention that civilians are, in fact, targeted; that the populations is, in fact, being starved; that Western reporters (who could influence America!) are, in fact, banned.
"Israel spent about a billion dollars building bomb shelters in the south...With a 15-30 second warning system."
Palestinians have neither warning systems nor shelters. They were attacked when Israel knew they'd be sitting ducks.
Israeli apologists sound like Germans who took over homes owned by Jews. They complained about having only enough to eat 7 meals a day, causing them to suffer more than Warsaw ghetto "residents."
Arabs with broken/severed limbs enter over-crowded hospitals that, due to Israel's blockade, lack medicines. Israelis who merely "feel" afraid consider themselves equal victims.
What a pampered, heartless, racist people! Like Nazis, they think one of Theirs worth more than a thousand of the Other's.
