| Boutros said: We can't really blame Israel for bombing public establishments when the Hamas purposely stores weapons and fires rockets from them. It makes Israel look very bad but that's exactly what the Hamas wants. |
That's like saying that, if a criminal comes out with hostages, it's OK to kill all of the hostages to take out the criminal.
Israel could easily use manpower to take out the weapons and rockets, which would be a lot less likely to kill civilians and, while it might put Israeli soldiers' lives at risk, that's a trade worth making - deaths of soldiers in place of deaths of civilians. And in doing so, they wouldn't be breaking international law. What's more, Israel would be able to easily hold the high ground by being able to demonstrate that they really are trying to minimise civilian deaths. Bombing the locations protects Israeli soldiers by putting Palestinian civilian lives at risk, and that's wrong irrespective of how wrong Hamas's actions may be.
Mind you, the OP was rather blatantly biased. I mean, I could rebut something in just about every paragraph (first paragraph asserted that people call the area the birthplace of human-kind... I've never heard anybody say that, and scientifically, it appears that the birthplace of humankind is in South Africa, a whole continent away). But yes, we can very much blame Israel for bombing public establishments, because it's against International Law.
