Why isn't the rest of the world doing something about Israelis killing innocent Palestinian children?

Israel finds itself in the untenable situation of having its civilians constantly under threat and under lethal attack, while at the same time remaining under unequaled and unbalanced scrutiny by the media and by foreign governments. Israel contorts itself in its efforts to avoid killing Arab civilians, but is viciously denounced internationally when there are collateral deaths.
And why do you mention only one side of events?
Like some of the media, the U.N. and others, you may be biased.
What about the thousands of Israelis that have been killed by Palestinian terrorists?
What about the fact that Palestinians walk in Jewish neighborhoods without fear, while no Israeli dares enter many Palestinian areas, for fear of car-theft and lynching?
What about the fact that in forming the State of Israel as permitted by the U.N., the nascent State was attacked by seven foreign armies and survived only by the grace of God? Was Israel fighting a one-sided war?
Israel's enemies could lay down their weapons, and ask us directly: "Why hasn't Israel returned to its pre-1967 borders"? Then we could carry on a serious debate. And that issue is not one-sided.
- When Israel's neighbors have pursued a policy of discussion and debate, solutions have been implemented, not only argued over. Israel pulled out of Sinai and gained a peace treaty with Egypt. A very cold peace, but a strategic and useful one.
- Israel made border-adjustments and water concessions to Jordan, and gained another cold but useful peace.
- The same process brought a treaty in May 17, 1983 with Lebanon but it was blocked by Syria.
- The same process was almost completed by Rabin and Arafat in 2000. They were at the treaty-signing table, having hammered out all the details. Then Yasser Arafat pulled out of the ceremony, and initiated the Second Intifada, loading the "Karin A" ship with tons of weapons for terror-use.
Israel acknowledges that its existence is viewed as a problem by some, and certainly many of its actions are seen as such. Why not negotiate? Why doesn't Hamas, or Hizbollah, agree to hold talks?
Answer: Because then they'd be called upon to change their official stance (as Egypt did), which does not recognize Israel at all. They don't want to do that, so negotiations are scuttled before they can begin.

Israel is portrayed as an evil country by some of the media, by many U.N. and E.U. statements, and by a significant portion of the Arab and Muslim world.This despite the fact that Israel has better human-rights than any other country in the region (click on the blue text for details).
Israel has been boycotted for decades, and its citizens have suffered from the conflict, yet it continues to be optimistic and it enjoys God's protection.
The presence of the Jews in Israel is questioned by some, despite the Jews' history in and from Israel, and despite God's clear words bestowing Israel to them. Words which are recognized by Islam as well.
Those who condemn Israel for its side in the conflict, fail to condemn the actions of Israel's enemies, no matter how heinous.

Why is the Israeli government not the real terrorists?
The Middle East is a region where emotions run high, and both the Israelis and the Palestinians have been the victims of attacks by extremists. But it is unfair to say that only one side is "the real terrorists." Sadly, both sides have their extremists-- there have been attacks by Palestinian suicide bombers who have killed innocent civilians in Israel. Similarly, innocent Palestinians have died when the Israeli military attempted to kill someone they believed was a terrorist leader and innocent civilians also died. At this point, each side firmly believes the other side is to blame, and there has been little movement towards a peace plan. But it should be noted that the Israeli government does not engage in targeting and killing civilians, which is one of the main definitions of terrorism. The Israeli government has always been regretful about the loss of innocent life, and the majority of Israelis do not rejoice or celebrate about the deaths of Palestinian civilians. Unfortunately, most Muslims in the region are taught that the existence of Israel is the cause of the problems; while Israelis are taught that the problems are caused by the unwillingness of certain pro-Palestinian groups to give up terrorist attacks.
How is Israel justified in killing thousand of Muslims?
Israel does not purposely kill innocent children. They try and make sure innocent civilians are not in an area where there is danger. Terrorist groups hide there weapons and explosives in schools and hospitals, and have no problem killing innocent Israelis. In fact, even though it would better protect them, Israel does not bomb schools and hospitals because they do not want to hurt innocent people.
Why are Israelis so evil?
Because they just are. They were bullied once so they think its alright to take it out on the innocent.
In what year did the law say an innocent mother could have custody of her children until they were sixteen?

How many innocent women and children were killed?
2,987
What are the characteristics of a young children?

What does it mean to dream of handicapped children being shot?
Dreams communicate through symbols. Disturbing as these dreams may be, the "handicapped children" represent something else; probably something as innocent and helpless as handicapped children. The shooting suggests that something or someone intentionally is harming something helpless. But dreams are always about the dreamer. In this case, the dreamer needs to consider whether he/she identifies with the children or with the shooter, or perhaps with both. What is happening in the dreamer's real life that feels as if something helpless is being attacked?
Why shouldent children talk to strangers?
Children shouldn't talk to strangers. They are innocent and do not know what will happen.
Does Israel have the right to kill the innocent Palestinians?
Palestinian PerspectiveThey don't have the right to do that because there is no land that is called Israël it belongs to Palestine and Palestinians don't have the right to kill Israeli people but they need to defend themselves that's why they throw rocks all over the country they are defending themselves and Israeli people don't let Arabic people to buy a bottle of water in the shop and they don't let them go outside.Other PerspectiveIsrael does by International Law, Historical Precedent, Governmental Existence, National Consciousness, and normalization of relations with most world governments has the Right to Exist and a Right to Self-Sovereignty (contrary to the above answer's opening line). The way this question is phrased seems to imply that Israel is somehow guilty of some crime and the Palestinians are not. This is not the case. Both Israelis and Palestinians cause problems in the former British Mandate of Palestine have killed innocent bystanders. Neither is innocent in this. Throwing rocks at people, firing rockets at cities, and suicide bombing are all morally incorrect actions and those who commit them should not be surprised or astonished that Israelis do not just "sit there and take it". The Palestinians who engage in such behavior are provoking reaction.Of course, this is not to say that Israelis should target Palestinian children, families, or other non-involved parties and Israel's great shame is that some of its people are so obsessed with their religious fervor of settling the land that they curse out (verbally and violently) those who were originally there. It should be said that both Israelis and Palestinians do not have the right to kill innocents and should not target them in any way. When innocents die, on either side, it islamentable.As for the claims in Answer 1 that Israelis do not allow Palestinian Arabs to live a normal life with activities such as "buying a bottle of water" or "going outside", this is quite untrue. Palestinians in the West Bank have most of the basic freedoms to live a normal life. There are certainly constraints and there is certainly a military occupation in the West Bank, but it is nothing close to a Fascist Dystopia. As for the Gaza Strip, any prevention of civic liberty there would be directly caused by Hamas, not by Israel. Israel withdrew all of its settlers and security forces from Gaza in 2006, and handed over control to the Palestinian Authority. Israel now has no control over domestic policy there.
