This thread really is getting very unpleasant, and vetran is the instigator of most of the memes here.
All you can say about a child getting killed is 'oops'?
I wasn't saying the child getting killed was an oops. Luckily you were mistaken in your assumption.
The children killed were related to Hezbollah terrorists and picked up a TERRORIST's pager intended for their parents. It detonated in their hands, the pager not being able to differentiate. It was a superbly targeted operation that resulted in 2 allegedly innocent deaths out of 300 or 0.0067% collateral damage. If this were Iraq and the Americans / British were in charge the numbers off innocents killed to eliminate 300 insurgents would be 24,300 i.e. 9 civilians for every insurgent.
More US kids were killed by their parents poorly secured guns on the day, very few of those were the progeny of terrorists. More Lebanese kids were probably killed by Hezbollah keeping control of the populace that day.
One child was 8 the other 11 did they think their daddy was a milkman? Yes I feel for the children, if their parents/relatives stopped killing innocents they would not be in this danger.
The "oops" was about the double whammy of terrorists being hit by the pager counter terrorism action and at their funeral walkie talkies killing a few more monsters when they get together to mourn the Martyrs/Murderers.
Do we hear any sympathy for the innocent and unconnected Druze children who were the recipients of one of the 8000 plus rockets Hezbollah have fired at Civilian targets in Israel since last October? Get out and march for those poor kids! or the thousands of Israels killed so far.
Hezbollah and Hamas started a war of extermination against Israel in its entirety and the citizens in the terrorist countries are not trying to stop it. Sad as it is it is war and non combatants die. If The terrorists win who do you think they will start on next?
I suppose, whatever else they may be, at least they're not antisemitic.
What not enough gang rape, executing, kidnap, Beheading or firing pipe bombs at civilian targets for you?
Again for the hard of thinking, if these terrorist organisations top killing innocents then Israel will stop killing them or people stupid enough to stand next to them.

Whatever. I'm talking tulip and want to support terrorists.
FTFY
Israel has achieved an unknown low level of collateral damage that has amazed many experts, best you can manage is to put your lack of knowledge out there.

If you think being critical of the Israeli govt means someone supports arab terrorist nut jobs then you're as dumb as them.
Let's see if what the Israelis are doing works out for them in the long run. If the past god knows how many years are anything to go by, I suspect not.

No it won't. But that is not down to Israel. Shame you're too down wid de twitterati to realise that.

If you don't oppose the terrorists you are obviously a bit thick. They hate us as well in a way that would scare most Russians and Sicilians. The Israelis have shown immense restraint, any normal people with the provocation Israel has suffered would commit atrocities that would make Genghis Khan blush.
What Israel have been doing before is praying for peace (concessions at peace treaties, Iron dome, not responding to each rocket with a bigger & more accurate response etc. leaving Gaza and hoping Hamas would go legit).
Now they have finally decided to remove their enemy from the roots up, then hopefully sterilise the ground and plant something that will outgrow terror.
They are being questioned at every turn by the useful idiots, but if they eliminate the ME terrorists and sort out Iran the whole world (or at least the sensible part) will breathe a massive sigh of relief. Of course few have the balls to openly support them our government included.
Ah got it. You think that we don't allow different points of view, despite all the evidence - like the fact that you get to post. But you'd rather feel the victim of a conspiracy to suppress your right to speech. What you fail to understand is that the right to free speech includes everyone else's right to pour derision on your deranged, drooling outpourings.
Vetran overstepped the mark. He does it rarely. I know it doesn't fit with your world view, but with regards to this discussion, I'm largely with Vetran. I'm not happy that kids died, but the fact that so few innocents died in this attack is commendable. Hezbollah and Hamas aren't held to the same standards as Israel - they don't give a flying **** if innocents, event their own die - which at least is the worst reason why they try to minimise what the US coined as "Collateral Damage".
Oh also, btw, I'm not Catholic. So your whine about Communion Wine just shows your prejudices.
I think I was also taken out of context, the accusation was that I didn't feel sorry for the innocent children anyone familiar with my very low opinion of the doctrine of original sin will see that as bogus. I have no sympathy for zealots and scumbags that want to kill innocent Jews. I'm not a big fan of the Stern Gang either.
Its funny how Muslim extremism is so close to Nazi extremism. Adolf & the Grand Mufti were very close in the war. so long as the Muslims got first pop at killing the Jews in "their" area the Nazi's got free rein. You can tell the caliber of people by the company they keep and shaking hands with Hitler without gagging says a lot.
No it won't. But that is not down to Israel. Shame you're too down wid de twitterati to realise that.
Israel want things to change? They want enduring and lasting peace? Correct?
The enemies don't want things to change? They'll never stop hating and wanting to eliminate jews/zionists; it's almost like it's part of their DNA? Correct?
But you say it's not down to Israel, and yet it's only them that want things to change. Well, history has shown that nothing they've done over many decades has brought about change. And, as the saying goes, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...
Now, I would be horrified but if they concluded that the old solution was scorched earth (nuke the lot of 'em) then at least they'd be doing something different.
