You have to realize these terrorist organizations on purpose work out of populated areas. They hide from retaliation by living, breathing, hiding amongst ‘civilians.’ If Israel decides well we can not go after them because of civilians, they win and continue to have free rein to attack civilians with rockets. And If Israel does actually attack, and civilians are killed, the international community yells at Israel, for ‘disproportionate force.’ Of course this only leads to encourage the terrorists to organize, live, and attack within ‘human shields’ / populated areas.
If I go and hold someone hostage, for money or something, and threaten to kill the person, and the hostage dies who is held responsible? I am it is considered murder. So why is it not the same for terrorists?
I found a lot of these ideas and some other comments in some op/ed page i was reading, I wish I could find the article, but sadly I have been reading everything on Israel I can find all day, so it is somewhere lost in my history.
