By your own logic, if the Israelis didn't keep Palestinians confined in the open air concentration camps (Gaza etc), and didn't occupy the West bank, the children wouldn't be carrying explosives.

By my logic, no one should be using children as combatants. Don't put words in my mouth.

OK, slowly now. How did the commander know she was not a threat? Have you been in a similar position? How do you know?

The point to this post is that Israel has lost their mind. They are becoming PC and will now lose their country. There is no CRIME here. The commander should not be on trial.

Israel lost.... at least not collectively, this seems an isolated horrid case.
PoliticalCorrectness... in my view, the Israel rule of law, is attempting to uphold the greater Humanistic Imperative...the unjustified desecration of a body.
WHAT ? would be a miscarriage of justice?, & 'P.C. Exercised'?...
It will be the 'verdict and punishment metted out'......
i see a no-win situation, because the "life-for-a-life"
will not be the fitting punishment !
CRIME + trial...perhaps you should introspect on your world-view, in both the 'compartmentalized' aspect of this (vile) incident....and in the larger context (which only sprials into mutual-self-destruction)

some essays deal with the humanities & such & are interesting
[at least to me]...maybe you will find more material to address.

Wow. You are really bent on the idea of preemptively killing muslim kids.

By that logic the Nazis were justified for their massacres because "Soldiers kill people and break things, period." and who knows maybe all those jews really deserved to be killed because "you were'nt there so you dont know what its like".
