Talkback
Title:90% of casualties were militant Hamas?

I think the international media, not to mention the palestinian media services, (which publishes the name and age of those killed - including israelis killed) would disagree with the 90 Hamas militants killed figure. What about the bystanders? The kids at the soccer game or the 14 year old boy that was shot today during a protest.

Furthermore, worsening the conditions in Gaza by providing a legal loophole to bombard the strip is not going to solve any problems, so why even consider it? Didn`t the five soldiers killed this week kind of render the whole offensive redundant? How many israelis have been killed by Qassams this year? 1? 2? How many soldiers? 4? 5?
