********. so basically the pro Israel side is saying anyone who doesn't side with Israel is a terrorist nutjob.

If caring about human life, and not wanting civillians to die in a baseless attack is considered being a coward, then I don't want to know what you consider yourself as ..a God?

Propeller has such a pro Israel slant it's not even funny. Israel is occupying Palestine, I don't really care what happens about the land - I'm more concerned at how this attack is becoming pointless - it's an attack on the people, not on Hamas. They're killing more civillians then they are of Hamas - they kill families and kids, more then 46% of those dead are civillians the other 64% is comprised of either terrorists and those who's bodies are so charred or are unable to determine whether they were a civillian or not. These are stats coming straight from IDF - look it up yourself.

The ratio of deaths on Israel and Palestine is not even comparable, 3 Israelis died - and the death toll of Palestinians continues to increase it's already over 300. 3 Entire Families have been wiped out - that's entire families (aunts,uncles,fathers,mothers,children, grand children, grandparents etc).

  Israelis used to have a moral response. They sent in teams on the ground to truly, surgically kill terrorists. Their soldiers/operatives got to wear a red medal for one year for taking part in an covert action behind enemy lines.
  
  People have taken up the mantra that certain fights are not worth 'losing a single soldier over". We hear this in the US in regard to Iraq.
  
  When a soldier says a fight is not worth the loss of even one of his comrades what he's actually saying is that he doesn't believe in the cause or morality of the fight.
  
  think about it...if you don't really believe in the morality of the fight...should you be in it?
  
  Is it moral to send in air strikes and robots and drones to kill when you don't believe in a cause enough to sacrifice but it's not moral to send in a soldier to die for a cause you don't believe in?
  
  I'm suggesting that if you are not willing to sacrifice, if you don't believe in your cause enough to die or order men to their deaths...it's immoral to be in the war in the first place.
