Snooker, some of your points are well argued and valid, but there are many Palestinians who just want to get on with their lives, send their kids to school, work at their jobs, etc and the IDF is preventing them from doing this. The sad thing is, the IDF must do something, but the way they are going about it at the moment will ensure future generations will also have to endure this conflict. They are providing the ideal climate for hate and terror to breed.
Your statement "The Palestinians who either bring their children to the front line or allow their homes to be used to launch attacks on Jews/Israelis have to bear the weight of responsibility for the loss of "innocent lives"." is completely unjustifiable in the case referred to above. You can call it left wing propoganda or whatever you like.
I am not anti Israel, both sides have to take the blame. But I am anti your completely blinkered view of the conflict. Many Israelis are pro peace and many are consciensious objectors who refuse to serve in the IDF given its present policies? Why do you see things in black and white?
