Even if it was 28 not 35, and even if only 15 of them, not 35, were children, and I havent seen your numbers confirmed anywhere else, does that make killing kids OK? Are we to accept Sam's apparent premise that the children blown to pieces were not really innocent civilians, even the one-year-old? How were those kids more guilty than Israeli children killed in Nahariya? Guilty of what? Being alive? Is that you distinguish good from evil, by asserting that it is OK to blow up children? You may have more "moral clarity" than me, but that kind of moral clarity I can happily live without. And saying that its wrong to blow up Arab children doesnt mean I dont love Jews. It means that it hurts me terribly to see my own people blow up children and then having other Jews tell me I should harden my heart and tell myself thats its OK for Jews to blow up children.

Best, Walter
