But you ignore those firing HUNDREDS of rockets onto Palestinian land for every rocket fired onto Israeli land. Look at the death tolls on both sides. I've posted them numerous times but don't have them saved. You can google "Palestinian and Israeli casualties" or something like that. You'll see that, even with the indiscriminate rocket fire from Palestine, the casualty rate is somewhere around (depending on the particular time period) 3:1 to 150:1. In 1 stretch, there were about 3 or 4 Palestinian CHILDREN ALONE killed for every Israeli SOLDIER.
What would you do if you were on the receiving end of that? What would you do if your children were being shot & blown up by an occupying force?

>>Do you wish that more Israelis were killed to even the score? I know most Palestinians do.
Way to read a bunch of Sht into something.
No, I do NOT want more Israelis killed. I, and MOST Palestinians, and any THINKING person, want LESS PEOPLE KILLED, PERIOD!!!! To even suggest that is barbaric; to me, your statement sounds like you don't believe enough Palestinians are being killed. Are you truly that much of a murderous, blood-thirsty barbarian?

Listen, I like to be truthful. I like the truth.
"...and MOST Palestinians, and any THINKING person, want LESS PEOPLE KILLED..."
The why do Palestinians dance in the streets when Israelis are murdered? Hmmmm? Be honest.
"The attack prompted celebrations in Gaza where Palestinians took to the streets firing in the air and passing out candy. "
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/07/world...
"Palestinians in Gaza celebrated the double suicide attack in Dimona Monday by passing out flowers and candy, while giving praise to Allah. As news of the attacks spread, drivers honked horns and passersby laughed with joy. A Hamas spokesperson thanked Allah the attacks were successful, calling the bombings a 'glorious act.' Islamic Jihad took the same approach."

Good point.
The only thing I can say is it's like the cheerleading going on here during 'Shock & Awe' on just about every news channel. Or like the Israeli children writing messages on the bombs to be dropped on Lebanese civilians.
I don't agree with the celebrations, but I can understand it. After suffering constant bombardment from Israel, any attack would seem a good reason to celebrate. With Israel's tanks, planes & helicopters, it can strike anywhere in Gaza & the West Bank it wants. With their limited weaponry, the Palestinians can't strike inside Israel as easily. So a strike against their oppressor would be cause to celebrate.
Again, I don't agree, but I can understand it.

I agree too. I'm not saying what I would or wouldn't do, because thank Dog I'm not in that situation, but I do understand.
Shock n' Awe made me sick.
Little Israeli kids writing on bombs makes me sick.
The use of cluster bombs in Lebanon makes me sick.

Papa Wolf, do you actually believe what you are posting? Israel has an extensive civil defense system in place that protects its citizens from indiscriminate rocket attacks. The Palestinian authority has done absolutely nothing to protect the citizens which elected them. Hamas uses civilian neighborhoods to fire it's rockets into Israel. In the real world, that would make the civilians targets because the civilian neighborhoods are the areas where those firing the rockets can be located. When Germany fired it's V1 and V2 rockets into English cities, the British and Americans leveled Dresden to the ground. Real wars are fought in real battles and if civilians are used as human shields, they are going to get killed. Welcome to the reality of war. The US just recognized that fact in Sadr City this past week. It's easy to play armchair general when you are 6000 miles from the fighting. When Hamas starts caring about the children, the rockets will stop and the children will be fine.

Simple answer: from day 1, Israel & the US refused any aid AND the moneys Israel OWES the Palestinians for revenues Israel collects & is supposed to turn over to the Palestinian gov't. How in God's name do you expect Hamas to operate when it has no money - NOT EVEN ITS OWN REVENUES - to pay for any type of gov't services?
>>When Hamas starts caring about the children, the rockets will stop and the children will be fine.
Look over some statistics over the past number of years. I've GOOGLEd this a few times & posted links, but you can do the same. Hamas rockets & bombings actually DECREASED over a few years. Israeli attacks, however INCREASED that same period.
So your assertion of the children's safety is pretty hollow when it's only a 1-sided cease fire.
