"Well, whatever the policy is, the net result is that there are more young Palestinians death than young Israeli deaths"

Unfortunately, the palestinians send their kids out to confront tanks etc....men with automatic weapons hide behind them...
Israeli children aren't going out to fight palestinians, they're having lunch, going to school, having coffee with friends...the palestinians purposely try to murder as many israelis as possible.
If Israel wanted to do that, there wouldn't be any palestinians left...
If the palestinians were doing to an arab nation, what they've been doing to Israel...another BLACK SEPTEMBER would be the result, and nobobody would care, because arabs get a free pass when they massacre other arabs...
