Dropping a DIME on Hajji

Even though it seems all I hear about regarding the most recent Israel v. Hamas conflict is civilian casualties, I'm actually rather impressed at how low they are. I've been following that region pretty closely for some time. Back in the late 90s and the early part of this decade, headlines would read "Israel fires rocket, kills 1 terrorist and 30 civilians." Today it seems I'm reading headlines like "Israel fires rocket, kills 13 terrorists and 3 civilians. Now it seems I've found the reason for the sudden increase in accuracy. Not exactly a super-weapon, but it definitely seems to be more effective than a Hellfire.

All this whinging about civilian casualties (as if there really can be such things in areas where 80% of the "innocent civilians" have voted in favor of outright genocide) is really doing is convincing Hamas to develop new and more horrifying human shield systems. If the media keeps this up, Hamas will probably start strapping babies to the outsides of all their rocket deployment vehicles, just because it makes such great anti-Israel propaganda among people who refuse to condemn Palestinians for war crimes under any circumstances at all.
