Neither Hamas nor the government of Israel cares a whit about civilian casualties on either side. War is governments doing violence to people, most of whom are innocent. In Gaza, the violence is falling disproportionately on the Palestinian people. This is not because there is any difference in the level of consideration for civilian life between Hamas and the government of Israel. The Palestinians are taking the brunt of these atrocities because GOVERNMENTS ARE USUALLY AS VIOLENT AS THEY ARE POWERFUL, or at the very least the is a strong correlation between the two. War is a faliure of government, and innocent human beings always are the ones to suffer.

Israel is going to great lengths to minimize civilian casualties, even at the risk of their own forces..

Hamas is completely to blame for all the civilian casualties...

Can't agree with Para 1. Not after the UN school hit. And yes, I've heard the "facts."

Even the Israelis concede the fire was from "near" the school; not "in" the school/SHELTER.
