But killing a civilian Palestinian child every 3rd day on average is helpful for the peace? Denying Palestinians their basic rights? Preventing a two-state solution by any means? Building more illegal settlements that are condemned by most of the world community?
Gaza forms a tiny part of the Palestinian territories btw.
The hundreds of civilian Palestinian children that die each year have nothing to do wit the conflict either and are not responsible for what is happening.
Every kid dying in the conflict has been documented at
Remember These Children 2013 Memorial
Since beginning of 2013, 8-10 has been killed in 18 months, depending on the cause of the deaths at Ofer this year.
Since beginning of 2010, 82-84 has been killed with 36 beeing killed in november 2012 in hot conflict.
From statistics, you can show that about 90,000 jews are killed by Germans each year since 1940. There are lies, damned lies and statistics, and the "kid killed once every 3 days",
does not show the reality.
So if you look at average killing, sorting out anomalies, then once per month for the last five years.
That is bad enough, but statistics is again misleading.
What is interesting is whether killing is illegal or not, but noone seems to keep that statistics.
Every unguided missile that is fired on an Israeli city, is a war crime.
Entering a civilian home and slashing throats is murder,
and so is killing the teens and the palestinian boy, in beginning of July.
Kids killed when military targets are attacked are not war crimes.
Kids killed by handling unexploded ordonnance is no crime.
Kids dying because of lack of medical treatment in Israel is no crime.
Kids dying because of lack of medical treatment due to other travel restrictions, is debatable.
Anyway, your comment is irrelevant, because you are arguing that Israel is trying to
avoid a two state agreement with any means. This is false, because Israel was prepared
to do far going concessions in Camp David.
It is much more correct to say that the current Israeli government is trying
to avoid a two-state solution. One of the key arguments is that this will only
allow more parts of Israel to be attacked by missiles.
Many Israelis agree that this will happen, and thus vote for this government,
and you get the pro-settler policies for free.
Continuing firing missiles will just harm the floundering peace movement in Israel.
If you want a continued pro-settler agenda, then continue firing missiles.
