They make everything to be so much worse to keep fear instilled in all of us. Disgusting

what combat is really like. Strap them onto the first tank, jeep or APC going into battle or a raid. Too bad the soldiers do not see that the JAG, Israeli courts and many n.g.o.s would hang them on the word of a 9 y.o. They did not even have to be there to be guilty. All combat soldiers should take a stand and say if one soldier is tried for defending Israel, then we will all lay down our arms and go home. Terrorists are not tried for killing Israelis by other terrorists.

9 year old child they would like the PA to use him in the same way. cowards

Shooting with most advanced weapon systems at almost defenceless people closed in a small area is not a "war". It´s a crime.

people but since none did anythin in 9 years Israel finally lost it's patiance the blockad is only since 2007 what the excuss for shooting rockets at innocent Israeli?

These "rockets" made of sewer pipes vs. the most advanced weapon systems in the world are much less than bare hands v.s. machine guns. BTW. Do you know who killed more people during these 9 years? Israeli or Gazans?

Could the IDF be prosecuting a few soldiers in order to deter the drooling masses at Israel's door calling for blood?

Aren't they a bit more humane that crude rockets that hit everything and everyone? An advanced rocket that can hit a weapons depot dead on and no hurt surrounding buildings is the result of humane policies being taken by world armies since WWII. Perhaps the best answer to your retarded claim (which obviously ignores the very real war crimes of Hamas) is to use the same crude weapons on the "palestinians". So next time they fire a rocket, we fire 20 qassams in return. Where they land is anyone's guess and who cares, frankly? Oh, but then you will claim that is also a crime, right?

Hamas managed to kill almost 50 people when one of their trucks full of explosives and rockets ignited during a parade. That is more than Israelis killed by Hamas during Cast Lead. Is that also Israel's fault? Let's be honest here - the videos and testimonies by Gazans that Hamas used them as shields are overwhelming. For example, setting up a powerful IED next to a civilian apartment building will result in many deaths, yet your ilk ignore the fact that Hamas did this all over N. Gaza. Conversely, Israel builds rocket shelters to PROTECT civilians and launches operations away from civilian centers. You don't have to be Col. Kemp of NATO to understand why the death count in uneven.

Actually, weren't most rockets smuggled in from Sinai, Sudan, and Iran and were built in Iran and China? Hamas didn't build the Grad rockets, nor the AK-47s, nor the IEDs, nor the RPGs, nor shoulder anti-aircraft rockets. For a "defenseless" people they sure are armed to the teeth! Too bad they spent their money on weapons instead of schools and factories, and their time ripping up sewer pipes that they blame Israel for.

"Hamas killed more Gazans than Israelis(...) Hamas managed to kill almost 50 people when one of their trucks ..." During the "operation" cast lead alone Israelis killed over 300 palestinian children.

Oh yeahh "armed to the teeth!" -a RPG and AK47 against F16, Apache helikopter and heavy tanks. What a "dangerous" enemy, almost so "dangerous" as someone with bare hands against machine gun.
