How do you fight against an enemy who wants you dead, blends in with the population, and is protected by that population?
When are those aiding and abetting terrorists guilty of that crime?
You say only a few were violent palestinians and assume the rest innocent, can't we all just get along, citizens. History suggests that the vast majority were virulent anti israel people. They despised israel and condoned even aided attacks against her. They teach, to this day, their children to hate israel. I've seen the schools and itineraries. Horrible. They are not innocent.
I've also seen the so called cleansing you speak of. When israel retaliates they warn palestine which building is gonna be destroyed. They are super careful not to kill innocents. They go above and beyond. Hardly even retaliate much less ethnic cleansing lol.
There is a reason you dont see evil acts of ethnic cleansing or abuse of innocents from Israel's side. The media would plaster it on the front page.
I can tell you that the palestinians are evil. They purposely place high value targets, rocket launch sites, bomb making locations, weapon storage facilities, mixed in with non combatants just for the purpose of preventing an attack AND for propaganda footage SHOULD it be attacked. Just like the arabs we are fighting in iraq and Afghanistan do regularly. They are not innocent.
