#2 The only way Israelis can appease "International Community" is to commit mass suicide---and even then some will find reasons to complain.

#3 incident in which a residence holding about 100 members of a family was struck from the air.

Are you by chance using "Family" in the Chicago Mob sense?
Mighty big "Family" otherwise, sounds like they combed the streets for bodies to pile up and then reported the "Family" was hit.

#5 Well, let's just shake hands and call it a wash then, shall we?

No because they are not equlvalent.

The civilian deaths (by Israel)were collateral - the civilians were *not* the target.

The civilian deaths by Hamas were, for the most part, intentional - the civilians *were* the target.

In addition some of the civilian deaths (by Israel) were a direct result of Hamas using human shields (willing or not). In these cases, even though Israel may have 'pull the trigger' - Hamas is directly responsible for the casualties.

#7 You're right Pappy. Even though it would be a lop-sided trade heavily in the favor of the "Palestinians", Israel can't realistically expect it to happen. Especially with the likes of the Muslim in Chief insisting that Israel apologige for being attacked by Turkey under the cover of humanitarian aid.

Sigh.
