Let's Talk About Ceps
Aaargh, will you please stop bringing up the Palestinians-are-bad-because-they-kill kids thing? Israeli soldiers do EXACTLY THE SAME THING, I have seen it on TV with my own eyes. The only difference is the Israelis are a bit sneakier about it and make up some bullshit about 'targeting terrorist leaders' before (or quite possibly after) they blow up a house containing twelve members of the same family. "Hey, we're just doing our job - that eight-year-old would probably have grown up to be a suicide bomber!". Maybe ONE person in the house really was a militant, but does that justify blowing up his grandma? How many new militants does that action create, do you suppose?
So no, I do not condone terrorist activity, which by definition targets civilians - but this is just what the Israeli military do quite often. Christ, they've even shot dead foreign journalists. But because they operate under the aegis of a 'proper country' they are somehow soldiers rather than terrorists.
Edit: and Gek's right, they're not killing for the sake of it, they have a clearly defined objective. You might not agree with it but it's definitely there.
