At this point, I'm not convinced there are any "innocent" people in Gaza. They have been fostering the anti-Israeli hate for decades, spouting "From the River to the Sea" gibberish and supporting the PA, PLO, etc. from the start.

Israel is retaliating right now for an unprovoked heinous attack on civilians. They are taking great pains to try to minimize collateral damage -- they have done this imperfectly but so has anyone who has ever engaged in military action.

The college kids protesting for the self-styled Palestinians (nearly all of whose ancestors were located in Egypt, Lebanon, or the other side of the Jordan River when the Romans referred to that area as Palestine) or against Israel are the same useful idiots the Soviets employed to protest for a nuclear freeze or anything else that stymied American foreign policy or national security during the 60s, 70s, 80s (as a group, not individuals since the specific students hadn't even been conceived then). If the college administrators and faculty weren't in bed with the very same treasonous Leftist groups, these students would all face expulsion (with some settling for retention in the student body albeit under some form of probation).
