A difficult struggle

The Jews Face a Double Standard: Why doesn't Israel have the same right to self-defense as other nations?

"Many people ask why there are so few Israeli casualties in comparison with the Palestinian death toll. It's because Israel's first priority is the safety of its citizens, which is why there are shelters and warning systems in Israeli towns. If Hamas can dig tunnels, it can certainly build shelters. Instead, it prefers to use women and children as human shields while its leaders rush into hiding."
There's truth to this. Any group that would encourage their children to strap bombs to themselves but do everything they could to protect themselves from harm will stop at nothing to appear the underdog in the struggle...
