Well duh -- why do you suppose they are targeting residential
areas? Because that is where the weapons and fighters are.

You want to have your cake and eat it too -- sorry, doesn't
work that way.

Terrorists who hide among the civilians are responsible for
the problems of those civilians. It is so, and the reason
you know it is so is that otherwise Israel would be excoriated
for violating the Geneva convention.

Even the Palestinians don't try and claim that -- every wonder why?
Answer is, the Israelis follow it and the Palestinians violate
it.
