Maureen, you must confuse me with another poster, as I have never accused you of being ant-Semitic. All I said is that your post comparing Jews to Nazis minimizes the possibile legitimacy of any of your posts.
As for civilian deaths in Gaza, they are horrible. But the real culprit is Hamas. Do you believe the firing of missiles by Hamas at Israeli citizens is justified? Are you just as outraged by those actions? Whether or not you are, what do you believe Israel could do legitimately to counter the attacks? Are you really so naive as to believe that if Hamas won't respond to force, it will respond to negotiations with the very country it has sworn to destroy?
Do you believe Hamas is to blame for hiding smuggled missiles in residential complexes and mosques. When secondary explosions of these missiles kill Palestinian civilians, are you just as outraged? You talk about supposed anti-Palestinian bias in the States, but don't you see the pro-Palestinian bias of the BBC and newspapers such as the Guardian?
