The Israeli assault on Gaza with outrageous Palestinian casualties...

Because (1) Hamas likes to hide behind and among civilians, and (2) the civilians are happy to let Hamas hide behind and among them.




...exposes Israel as going way too far on invasion and aggression against a ragtag poor people with no military.

...but still somehow able to launch rockets against Israel.

Oh, wait, I forgot about those sticky provisions of International Law...

- Of all countries on this planet, only Israel is permanently barred from defending itself or retaliating against any attack from outside its borders.

- ANY self-defense, retaliation, or complaint by Israel constitutes an initial act of aggression to which Hamas and others are free to respond in ANY manner it sees fit.
