Does Israel Have A Policy Of Killing Palestinian Civilians?

Question

fter you see someone kill a child, you perceive humans very differently after that. We like to assume that when such a completely inexcusable event takes place that the deaths happened by some kind of “accident” or “error”.
“Crossfire” was perhaps Israel’s most successful lie at the onset of the Second Intifada, and no amount of statistics showing otherwise really seemed to penetrate our consciousness and make a difference.

Answer 1

Yes, they call it "targeted killing". That's another way of saying assassination or murder.

It has been the Israeli way for decades.
It's now the American way.

Answer 2

No, they're just like us, trying to stay alive. So are the Palestinians. Unfortunately, narrow-minded radicals are running the world, today. It's very difficult to "hit" a terrorist without killing innocent civilians, as well. The terrorists imbed themselves with the innocents and cause the innocents to be killed. They are cowards. If they were really serious about their causes, they would find ways to hide that wouldn't hurt their own people. This goes for both sides. In order to form the State of Israel, the Israelis did some terrible things, too. Today we honor the victors, right or wrong. It isn't always the good guys who win.

Answer 3

I believe that if not an explicitly articualted policy, then certainly an unspoken one. Israel takes "defense" to an extreme, calling its military, which has invaded land, a defense force, as if it never attacks. Israel does believe that every Palestiniamn is a terrorist. On the other hand, maybe you would not call Palestinians terrorists because they're fighting for their land and basic rights and dignity, but aren't they all by circumstances they did not chose and for their own survival, enemies of Israel, and thus potential soldiers against Israel? Therefore, potentially justifiable targets?

Answer 4

Why do you ask this question with a one sided bias against Israel? Do the Palestinians have a policy of killing innocent civilians - actually they do. The state of Israel does not. There are thousands of innocent civilians that have been killed or hurt by Israel as they target enemy combatants. Its sad, but what would you have them do - just sit back and die? I'm guessing maybe you would.

Answer 5

Yes, it usually starts for retaliating against Palestinian suicide bombing or mortar attacks. Israel has a right to be there, since they've been there, until the Romans kicked them out after a rebellion. I guess the Palestinian reason for being there is that they replaced the Israelis after the Roman Empire.

Answer 6

So it seems.Every time they do this they say it's "just a mistake".Well those "mistakes" are too many.I mean Palestinians(and I'm not talking about the militants) are killed on a daily basis and no one ever does something about it.

Answer 7

I do not think so!
It just happens that civilians are still around and get hurt or killed! If they move out of Middle East, they will face less danger!

Answer 8

The Arabs are the ones who purposely target non-combatants.

Jews do not.

This is clear to anyone not consumed by a Jew-hating brain fever.

Answer 9

Palestinians bomb markets, busses, and nightclubs. Are those miltary facilities? The U.S. should let the leash go and let Israel wipe them out once and for all!

Answer 10

Yes, since it is usually Palestinian civilians who are blowing up buses and cafes.

Answer 11

Palestinians have a policy of blowing up Israeli civilians..
