Think what you want. The Palestinians voted the Hamas into office in Gaza. They should have known what kind of people they were. And (IF) it came down to it, those who actually found an escape route most likely welcomed them taking Hamas out. That way, they can rebuild and start out fresh knowing that these type of people are not what they want in their government. I too feel sad for those who lost their lives and for their children, but even in the Bible God told David and other Kings when they were at war to kill the women and the children. I'd say things haven't changed much.
