(The problem with you people is that you have no empathy at all for innocent civilians that get killed if they are not of Israeli nationality.)
compared to the empathy you have regarding the innocent civilians in Israel that get blown into bits from suicide bombers?
I'm concerned about civilians on both sides. Do Israelis have a right to defend themselves? Certainly. Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? Very likely. I can't see how retaliatory strikes and indiscriminate bombing can help civilians on either side, though.
And I have a problem with people who condemn retaliatory strikes and indiscriminate bombing from the one side, while defending it when it comes from the other side.
In short: self defense - fine, indiscriminate killing - wrong. Goes for both sides.
