I don't agree with the overall commentary, but Gwynne Dyer articulates an important point about collateral damage I can't ignore:
"The only reason there are more victims in Gaza than in Sderot is because Hamas is not good at shooting rockets," Zalli Jaffe, an Israeli civilian living in Jerusalem,told a BBC reporter last week. "To conclude that Israel is at fault would be like saying the U.S. was wrong in World War II because many more Germans died than did Americans."
That is quite true: Hamas would do exactly the same to Israelis if it could.
