    Calculating that publicising the tragic death of children will protect Hamas commanders indicates how depraved terror thinking can get. The same logic is applied in hostage taking and killing. The war must stop. RIP.

    @thomas molloy: During the second world war, the Allies carried out a policy of carpet bombing of German cities to deprive German industry of it’s workers, culminating in the raid on Dresden when the war was practically won and it had little military value, around forty thousand men, women and children were killed in Dresden alone.
    Were these war crimes?
