It's irrelevant whether or not the Hamas leader was deliberatly using civilians as a human shield. The act of firing such a powerful and indescrimanate missile into a densely populated area was indefensible; in any case it will only worsen the situation. He will be replaced, and Hamas has already vowed to retaliate. Sharon will then have the innocent blood of his own citizens to further redden his hands.
If the British fired a high-explosive missile into a Catholic area of Belfast to eliminate an IRA terrorist, and in so doing killed dozens of innocents, including women and children, would this also be mitigated by the terrorist's "human shield" tactic? You really are deranged.
"Taunting Israel"? Now that IS crap. You know as well as I do that they have a more serious objective -- you don't commit suicide just to thumb your nose at someone. By making such a flippant remark, you are immediately suspect of having a hidden agenda -- are you Jewish? I often get these extreme, unbalanced, hateful reactions from Jews on this issue.
Hamas did not fire the missile -- the Israeli military did, and they chose a very high yield missile at that which destroyed several neighbouring houses and families -- not just Hamas!
You are also equating Hamas with all Palestinians. People like you like to paint all Palestinaians with the same brush; they are all "terrorists" to you -- "they all deserve what the get". Not so.
"They will NEVER get the land back".
You MUST be a raving Jew.
If that is the case, Israelis will never live in peace and prosperity -- they are already living in a catastrophe which is much their own making. I, instead, say, never say "never".
