Thats the problem, people look at the israelis as the murderers, yet forget that the Palestinians are effectively hiding behind a human shield.

Not many of you will remember (Cricko possibly) but during the Boer war a similar thing happened. The Boers realised that in open combat, army v army, they stood no chance whatsoever. So, they took up arms in a gueriila style. Hitting our lines, then retreating back into the townships as civillians. We were widele panned for the use of concentration camps, and yes the conditions inside were appalling, but by putting the civillians in these, it left nowhere for the fighters to hide, and prevented the need to just massacre entire towns.

People remember the "concentration camps" but forget the boers using women and children to hide behind.

They also let the Zulus and English beat the crap out of each other btw or they never would have won , your average Zulu warrior could run 30 miles in a day and still fight !

Everyone has them these days.

Far from it.

Us, USA, Russia, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel (even though Israel won't deny or confirm that fact).
