This can happen in any faith.

The idea that any military retaliation avoids women and children is of course wrong, as with any conflict it's always the innocent that suffer.

I work in Israel quite a bit and I have relatives there, so I suppose I'm closer to it, see things that never gets in the paper, hear things that I couldn't discuss, know things that I can't talk about for professional reasons... so it's hard for me to respond to the stuff you're reacting to. And we will always be singing from two different hymn sheets as far as faith is concerned. So I'll leave you with all your opinions.
