It's not that that I deny Israel has innocent civilian blood on its hands from this and other previous altercations.
But I think people hold Israel to a ridiculously high standard considering the situation that it's in. It's basically surrounded by countries that harbor large groups of people who would like to see it wiped off the map. It constantly faces the possibility of attack in a way that most of us can't even imagine.
And furthermore, and this may just be a personal quirk, I have little doubt that if Israel could know without certainty that it wouldn't be attacked, the Israelis would live in peace with their neighbors. I can't say the same for the groups that plague Israel with violence.
