The problem is not Israeli military technology, never has been. Hamas chose the war, chose the time, broke the truce and continued to fire rockets after the truce. If the editorial staff of this publication is so concerned about the lives of Gaza they may want to devote a little copy for hamas: don`t launch rockets, give back Shalit. If all Israel wanted to do was kill off civilians they could do it the old fashioned way with iron bombs on apartment buildings. The death toll would have been higher by very far. Bombing the mosques: Video showed secondary explosions, pictures of booby trapped schools, houses and in one case an anti aircraft machine gun in a mosque. Phosphorous is legal for illumination it was not used in any carpet bombing. I don`t think cluster munitions were used either. Hamas on the other hand targeted civilians for 8 years.
