Strawman arguments

This is apparently the only way you can defend your position. It is very easy for you to point out why your position is right and mine wrong when you continually pretend I said when thing when I clearly said another.

Again, this is what I wrote:

"Of course it is a tragedy and an injustice that a teenage palestinian is murdered in custody. The point is Israel is bringing the perpetrators to justice."

Where did I say it's ok for the Israelis to kill kids as long as there is an investigation? It is a horrible crime to kill a kid and the perpetrators should be punished to the full extent of the law. Apparently they will be. I see a difference between that and treating them as heros as palestinian child-murderers are.

You wrote:

"I have said that the side which has armor, artillery and helicopters and kills 25 people armed with AK-47s for every one of them lost is more brutal and savage."

And I have said that the side which DELIBERATELY targets women and children (NOT armed with AK-47s) is more brutal and savage. The IDF is targeting armed fighters. The Pals are targeting unarmed women and children. This is the core of the argument and you continually ignore it.
