I consider it a possibility at times but claiming it to be a certainty? Absolutely not.
But it is also very evident that the Israeli's are both using excessive force AND completely disregarding any potential civilian casualties.
The math proves this beyond any possible doubt. |

The math proves this beyond any possible doubt. | There are statistics, damned statistics, and lies. THe only think your stats prove is that there are more Palestinian children that have died than Israeli. You have obviously not considered other factors that may be involved. |

I've considered many things, for many years.
I view both sides equally in the conflict while having a very slight lean to the Israeli's due to the "Hamas Charter".
Since I have no bias for either side, things like numbers and facts tend to make an Impression on me. |

I don't know if you have ever studied statistics or statistical methods before, but the numbers are one thing. However, sufficient background is needed to INTERPRET those numbers.
I feel for the Palestinian people, however, the Israelis have the right to protest their people as well. |

On the other hand, I don't buy into the "chosen people" concept, probably because I don't worship your God.
So I think I will continue to give my own nation top priority. |
