Consider this: An unemployed male, 20 years old. His father is killed after an attack to take out some known terrorist. Later, another close relative is killed senselessly by the Israelis. (senselessly in his opinion; in the Israeli's opinion, it was justified, because the person standing 20 feet from him was a terrorist.) Do you not suppose that this might cause enough anger in this young man to convince him to commit acts of terrorism against Israel?
Every time you kill more Palestinians, you create more people out to avenge their deaths. Well, if the count is correct, there are a lot of people on the Palestinian side who don't feel that their brother's/sister's/mother's/father's/cousin's/etc. death has been avenged yet.
First of all, hate is what makes someone into a terrorist. And the hate was there before and without anybody dying on the Palestinian side (See Hebron massacre in 1929 before Israel had any land and before there was a state).
Secondly, I certainly don't buy that everyone Israel killed was an innocent civillian. That's a freaking important point that you overlooked. And even from those who are claimed to be innocents that were killed through Israeli actions, I doubt many of them are. The terrorists intentionally blur the line between civillians and not, it helps them to win the PR war which they certainly do. It's their fault civillians get killed. Israel has to respond to terror, and they terrorists hide among, and pretend to be civillians. If they cared so much about Palestinians they wouldn't do what they do. THEY bring it upon themselves and their people they profess to care about.
But what you say is true, civillians do die, and more hate is thereby created. And that's the obvious problem with fighting a group who hide among civillians. However, Israel is out of options, they have no choice in the matter. They cannot sit back and let their citizens be attacked. They must strike back each time or the murder will just go on unchecked.
You want to know what the palestines say after every israelly attacks?
They cannot sit back and let their citizens be attacked. They must strike back each time or the murder will just go on unchecked.
