Isn't this kind of ironic coming from people who give their children military training, brainwash them from birth to support terrorism, and celebrate children who blow themselves up as martyrs?

"Fighting intensified on the northern outskirts of Gaza City yesterday as a Hamas leader warned that the Islamists would kill Jewish children anywhere in the world in revenge for Israel's devastating assault.

"They have legitimised the murder of their own children by killing the children of Palestine," Mahmoud Zahar said in a televised broadcast recorded at a secret location. "They have legitimised the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people."

Hate to sound hard hearted here, but the Palestinians voted Hamas into office. Hamas then -- and now -- openly supported waging a genocidal war against Israel, they believe in using children in that war, and they regularly launch attacks while surrounded by civilians -- including children.

Then it's, "Oh, our kids got killed!" Ya think?

Why should Israel be expected to care more about the lives of Palestinian children than the Palestinians do? Why should the Israelis stand by and watch their own children die at the hands of Hamas rather than risk accidentally killing Palestinian children? They shouldn't.

When the Palestinians want peace, there will be peace and until then, they don't deserve anyone's sympathy.
