    They aren't. It's a sad consequence of war.

    It's really crazy.

    Why don't we look ay how Israel treats Arab Muslims who live in Israel vs. how Hamas (and groups like it) threat Jews who live under their rule.

    Oh, right. Their are no Jews living under groups like Hamas, because Hamas and similar groups would murder them.

    Degree matters. There's a difference, for example, between killing the 16-year-old son of a Yemeni terrorist, and leveling Hiroshima.

    What about killing unarmed civilians for approaching the border? Is that OK because Hamas?

    Anyone who thinks that Israel has zero blood on its hands in this conflict is not capable of legitimate discussion on the topic.

    The Holiest site in all of Judaism is in Jerusalem.

    Israel has ceded authority at the cite to Muslims, to the point where a Jew -- during the limited times they can visit it -- not only can not bring a Torah to the site, they cannot silently pray when there.

    The Jews pray at a wall, while the Muslims have to Mosques on the site, despite to connection at the site to the Prophet.

    Have Jews ever been shown such tolerance under Muslim rule?

    Islamists are destroying Church's and shrines in Mosul as we speak. And, they've done the same to Hindu and Buddhist shrines previously.

    Are you off the cease fire issue, and on to a new one now?

    Why don't you provide the details of the episode you allude to, and we can break it down too?

    Rick Perry drools at the prospect.

    BTW, how many civilians has Obama killed?

    Is he a lesser monster when compared to Israel, a greater monster, or does he just get a free pass?

    Which, again, doesn't give Israel a blank check to kill civilians.

    Communists shot their own citizens when they approached border fences and never received half of the criticism from the American left that Israel is receiving.

    Nope, still on the same post that you couldn't be bothered to read through.

    By the way, comparing Israel's murder of civilians to Obama's use of drones is not complimentary toward Israel.

    Please. Hamas is making sure Israelis kill civilians.

    The fog of war is a bitch.
