I don't think so. First off, I didn't say anything about the Israeli position other than they also target children. What "people say" is what I've noticed people say here.
On the other hand, Sharon himself does basically say that those children who are killed by IDF are getting what is coming to them:
Also on March 4, Israeli troops opened fire on an ambulance in the Jenin refugee camp and killed a doctor, 57 year old Khalil Suleiman. Three medics and a nine year old girl were wounded in the Israeli army attack.Commenting on the preceding Israeli army "raids" of March 4, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon stated: "Anyone wishing to conduct negotiations with Palestinians must first hit them hard...We must inflict heavy losses on their side."

While it is appropriate for us to feel pity for individual, innocent Palestinians, it is also appropriate to fault their leaders and those who support their self-destructive policies for totally failing those people who truly want peace.
Do they actually target children, Yassir, or do the terrorists hide behind children? Oh, wait! Are the terrorist sometimes children?
