Yet you encourage people to start wars they can't win.

I keep coming back to the first gulf war when Bush encouraged the Shiites to ride up against Hussain and then left them out to dry.

Its what gets done to the Palestinians over and over. And the Jews aren't the enemies you need them to be because if they were the Palestinians would have been long scattered.

You're shocked I'm against killing civilians?

Those who want civilian casualties are terrorist organizations like Hamas.[0]

It's that anyone who is keeping count can see that the amount of Palestinian civilians that have been killed in this war is a very very large number.

Civilian deaths are in line with what would be expected for urban warfare with the enemy hiding amongst the civilian population. Obviously creating civilian deaths is part of the Hamas strategy.
