Children didn't vote for the Nazis in the 1930s either but they still died when we bombed German cities. Children die in wars, it's an unfortunate fact, and Hamas just declared war on their neighbours.

Israeli children die: "bomb all of Gaza, kill as many kids as needed until Hamas is over"

Palestinian children die: "it's just war, mate, what can I say? War sucks :("

Screw this crap.

There's a huge difference between an official declaration of war and warning civilians and sneaking in in early morning and killing them in their beds isn't there?

I'm sorry but from where I am looking, whenever a civilian is killed, it's a tragedy.

And that includes Israel as much as Hamas.

Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world and we have to weigh things up sometimes that aren't pleasent.

So Israel can win because it's stronger. In a nutshell.
