Israel, it's about time!

If the bus station has a military purpose (launching rockets) it is a military target.

Everywhere that Hamas situates its rockets and weaponry is a military facility.

If Israel would fire it's artillery from a city, would you call that a civilian target as well? Will you condone Hamas for targeting it?

Since the soldier at the bus station has a military purpose [firing bullets], then the soldier is a military target. So Israel is responsible for any civilian deaths that may happen when the soldier gets hit. Or that's what we get if we follow your logic.

Israel and it's oh-so-mighty military has the power to go in to the city, find the artillery and destroy it. Hamas does not have the power to go into Israel and do diddly-squat. And what's more important? The safety of your soldiers [who swore to protect their country and the purpose of their existence is to take care of such problems] or the safety of your civilians?

But of course, the question that inevitably pops up in the mind is this: are the lives of a few hundred Palestinian civilians more important than the lives of your own soldiers? And the answer to that, makes all the difference in the world.

EDIT:
allonons, when you quote all that about Israeli civilians dying, let's see how many of them have relatives in the Israeli Army. While they're off bombing the palestinians, their families are at home dying and paying the price for their aggression.

The argument can go both ways. And both ways are stupid. No law says you are to punish the child for his father's crimes.
