Innocents Killed?

OK, I've just about had it with the anti-semitic liberals who think Israel is the bad guy and Hamas is an innocent victim of their brutality.

Yes, Israel strikes have killed some civilians - that's what has been called "war" for thousands of years. But that is not the point here.

The liberals are trying to convince the world that the Israeli's are killing innocent civilians. Are they kidding?

First - and this is important to understand - the Palestinians held an election and they chose Hamas as their leaders, knowing full well that Hamas' intentions were to keep killing Israeli's. They had a choice - they could have chosen the more moderate party, but they chose the party that was filled with hatred and wanted war. So, the Palestinian civilians are not "innocent" bystanders. They asked for this, and they knew what they would get from it.

Second, Hamas could not use the civilians as "human shields" without their consent. The civilians choose to stand between Israel and Hamas, and in so doing, they know the risk. They are not "innocent" victims.

Throughout the last truce, Hamas continued sending rockets into Israel. Every country has a right - an obligation - to defend itself. Israel showed great restraint throughout the truce, while Hamas kept up the agression.

So spare me the tears for terrorists. If the Palestinians do not want to be targets, they need to stop those who are making them targets - Hamas! They can throw them out of office. They can refuse to be human shields. For, as Thomas Jefferson so aptly stated, "Every person gets the government they deserve." The Palestinian government in Gaza are murderers. And those who put them in office are murderers by proxy - they are not innocent.

Note: the remaining Palestinians, under Abbas' more moderate rule, are not being bombed. Liberals should get a clue - and get educated.
