I, and I hope many others do not want to see any child starved or harmed. Yes, they are the "innocents" but we have to remember a fact of life on the ME. Many Palestinians under the leadership of Hamas put heir own children in harm's way. Whether is fear or actual Islamic belief it happens. Israel warns people (civilians) when they are coming in by robocalls, leaflets dropped from the air, etc, etc.
On Oct 6th, Jewish children saw their parents beheaded in front of them and vice versa. People were rated and brutalized. Afterwards, terrorists sat on the homes of the dead and ate. Testimonials were given by Israeli police that when they found bodies in the manner they did it was horrifying. They, who are trained to be tough were inconsolable. People's bodies were strewn on backs of trucks in public view. Many family members found out about what had happened to avrelative by seeing their dead bodies on TV. And trust me , these children who've innocent today will be their parents tomorrow without the Lotd's intervention. Children are taught at an early age that the Jew is the enemy. I would encourage you all to read the book, Son of Hamas, an eye-opener.
Finally, two points. I have a Jewish friend of many years ago. She was a baby at Israel's statehood. She was not a hawk at all. I sm definitely more so. But she made this statement, that if a Jewish person lived next door to an Arab and there was bad blood between them they would not risk their family to get back at their Arab neighbor, but the opposite would hold true for the Arab neighbor. They would risk their family to get back at the Jewish neighbor.
Golda Meir, former PM of Israel said "Peace will come when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us." Sonething to think about!
