I was referring to child abuse here.  The situation with children being killed as a consequence of  war anywhere in the world is not what I was discussing, and I think you knew that, but used it as an opportunity to return to our earlier disagreement.

I think you took me somewhat out of context in my previous comments about Israel doing what she needs to in order to defend herself, and I am not denying any language I used, but that was all I had stated previously. 

  I am saddened by the needless deaths of innocents who are killed during military operations when they are not the prime targets of those operations, just as you are.  However I am just as  saddened and even moreso, outraged by the deaths of innocent men, women and children who are the victims of terrorist attacks and bombings, where those victims are in fact the targets of such planned activity.
