There is not much that is simple about the Arab–Israeli conflict, but there is one thing that is certain: The question of how many Palestinian women and children are going to die in Gaza is not going to be decided by the Israelis — it is going to be decided by Hamas.
The Jews mean to live, Hamas means to exterminate them, and there will be war until Hamas and its allies either weary of it or win it and the last Israeli Jew is dead or exiled.
It is Hamas, not the Israelis, that stashes rockets and soldiers in schools and hospitals, but it is the Israelis the world expects to take account of that situation. Every creature on this Earth, from ant to gazelle, is entitled to — expected to — defend its life to the last: The Israeli Jews, practically alone among the world’s living things, are expected to make allowances for the well-being of those who are trying to exterminate them. No one lectures the antelope on restraint when the jackals come, but the Jews in the Jewish state are in the world’s judgment not entitled to what is granted every fish and insect as a matter of course.

How many children died while building the Gaza tunnels? Answer later.
RE: How Many Children Will Die in Gaza?
I think the answer is: As many as Hamas chooses.
Hamas controls the causality numbers just like Obama Admin controls US Economy numbers
As many as Hamas chooses.

How many Israeli will die if Hamas is not eradicated??
The answer is: all of them
As long as we pretend irrational, violent Muslims are reasonable, peace loving people, we will have to tolerate the carnage of them and others. Islam is insanity.
As many as Hamas wants.
I hope Israel kicks their ass to the extent nothing is left of Hamas. Hamas fights a cowardly war, but the MSM runs these stories about the poor Palestinian kids. Why doesn't the MSM ask Hamas why they hide in the folds of women's skirts or in school classrooms when the launch rockets? For the life of me, I do not understand why the Palestinians put up with that crap.
As long as the UN, liberals, Palestinian civilians continue to condone and not speak out against ham-ass it will continue. Israel does what it can to avoid collateral damage and should be commended for such.
Evict ham-ass and life will improve for Gaza. Keep ham-ass and life will continue to be savage and barbaric.
The answer is none. It’s a trick question. No children, just future terrorists.
They hate Jews more than they love their kids.
So when they run out of kids to hide behind is the answer.
It depends on how many kids the terrorists hide behind.....
“There is not much that is simple about the Arab–Israeli conflict”
Truer words were never spoken.
The best thing o do when starting a war is to take out the NY Slimes building.
Everyone else will shut up.
