What is truly despicable is the attempt by them to draw a moral equivalency between inadvertent civilian casualties resulting from Israel's attacks on military Hamas target (intentionally located in densely populated civilian areas) and the intentional direct targeting of civilians by Hamas terrorists. We saw the same being done during the Iraq war by Liberal America-haters (pardon the redundancy).

Something that's very rarely reported is the fact that with the exception of the US and some of our European allies, only Israel purposely exposes its soldiers to additional danger in order to minimize "collateral damage." In fact, Israel actually has a record of telephoning residents of homes that are near enemy fortifications and tells them to get out before the shelling starts, often alerting the enemy in advance. Sort of like what the US did with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, warning the non-combatants to get out BEFORE the atomic bombs were dropped. We never hear about THAT in the America hating media either.

That's true. We dropped leaflets for several days warning Hiroshima that they were about to be destroyed. The army units stationed there probably pressured many civilians to stay, thus insuring their honorable deaths.
