Your numbers games are asinine. The assumption behind it is that the 25 Palestinians killed for each Israeli were, of course, also all unarmed civilians, women, and children. Factor out the armed Palestinians shooting back, and maybe the numbers are different. But leave that aside for the moment.

Six million Jews died in Germany during WWII. By your bizarre number logic, this gives the Israelis the right to kill a quarter of a million Germans who had nothing whatsoever to do with the Holocaust. Hell, they're Germans, right?

I'm not going to try and explain--yet again--the concept of deliberately targeting little kids. Getting up in the morning and saying, "Today I am going to kill women and children. I am going to spend time and effort to go where only civilians, women and children are, and kill them. I am going to look children right in the eye, and blow them to bloody fragments."

To make this the exact moral equivalent to firing a missile at a building containing possible combatants, and killing a kid in the process, says a lot about what has happened in this country to the ability to form moral judgments.

There is a difference between a battle and cold-blooded murder.

Heck with it. I have tried, and others have tried, and it's like throwing ping pong balls at El Capitan.
