While I strongly disagree with JEA62, people have these opinions because the media reports on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians as if their actions/reactions are morally equivalent. They are absolutely not!!! The Palestinians and their allies target civilians while the Israelis target their enemies’ fighters (terrorists) and military target and always have. Yet the accidental killing of Palestinian human shields get the same condemnation as when the Palestinians purposely target and kill Israeli civilians. They are not morally or even legally equivalent.
