Why did you put quotes round the word civilian? Violet_Crumble Jul 2014 #79
Because Hamas has decreed that ALL casualties are to be called civilian. 7962 Jul 2014 #86
Ah, so Hamas made you do it? I could swear I've heard that somewhere before... Violet_Crumble Jul 2014 #89
I specifically said children WERE civilians. Their parents are to blame for not moving. 7962 Jul 2014 #90
Leave? And where do the civilians go? blackspade Jul 2014 #92
There is a lot of Gaza not under assault. 7962 Jul 2014 #106

And in this case the excuse would be justified. Israel has every right to take out totodeinhere Jul 2014 #14
Nope, not justified. blackspade Jul 2014 #23
So what's the alternative? christx30 Jul 2014 #134
The alternative is to not bomb hospitals and 'safe' areas. blackspade Jul 2014 #136
So the rockets continue to fire christx30 Jul 2014 #138
So what is your solution? blackspade Jul 2014 #139

That is not a viable solution though. blackspade Jul 2014 #143
