So about 300 human lives are "acceptable" in an "armed conflict." Amazing. Who are you to shrug off the death of anybody? Even one child killed is one child too many. I am stunned at how the US media deluge us with the death of poor little Caylee Marie Anthony, the cute, huge brown-eyed toddler for whom a nation mourns. And no one sheds a tear for thecute, huge brown-eyed little girl whose head was lying on the devastated streets of Gaza. But to you that is "acceptable." And it was not even an armed conflict, if you want to play with numbers, is it "acceptable" that Israel lost only 13 in the "conflict" (3 killed by their own fellow soldiers) while the trapped Gazans lost 1300? What smug arrogance.
