The issue is not that the Palestinians hate homosexuals, or even that they hate Jews, the problem is that they kill homosexual and Jews, and that the want to continue killing them until they are exterminated from the face of the earth.
What gives Israel license to do what they are doing, it thaT that hamas must be eradicated. It looks to me that Israel is going about that doing that as carefully as is reasonable to avoid killing civilians. Are some civilians being killed? Certainly. Is that a tragedy? Absolutely. Does the end justify the means? If it is allowed to go to the end, I think so. But I think that if a ceasefire is "imposed", then hamas wins and it was all for naught.
What I find disturbing people throwing around words like genocide and apartheid and that claim that civilian deaths that result from bombing enemy targets are morally equivalent to the atrocities proudly and gleefully committed hamas.
