Yichud ain't no joke, folks.

I love when people say, "But nothing HAPPENED!" Oh yeah? Do you eat chicken and milk? No? Why not? It's just a rabbincal safeguard to eating real bosor b'cholov!
Not to mention that yichud with an erva is mideorayso according to most reshonim anyway...

Caution needed with Gaza casualty figures http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-28688179

Interesting! Especially when coming from the BBC

If a kid or a teenager fired a rocket & got his just desserts, is he considered a "civilian casualty" ?

That's why the BBC considers children under 15.

Come on, this is DDF. Every parent here knows that 2 and up is an adult.

It's still flawed. I've seen videos of kids half that age firing RPG's.

He may be an adult but I'd like to see him wield a rocket launcher and still be alive for the Israelis to kill later...

+1. I'd always prefer that the RPG explodes before takeoff than the whatever age terrorist getting killed in retaliation. Kills many birds with one stone:
•No rocket flying into Israel
•No Israeli/US money spent firing back
•The IDF won't accidentally kill innocent civilians through collateral damage.
•1 less terrorist.
•Many terrorists preoccupied on the now deceased terrorist's funeral

Don't worry, the NY Times still shows a picture of the body and says the jews did it.

Besides the numbers,  how many of the dead were caused by misfiring or by rockets that landed in Gaza,  or those that hamas killed for collaboration.

Has Israel released any numbers on how many are women and children under the age of 15?

Very true, but that wasn't my point.
My point it that innocent lives won't be taken by innocent people.

They're too late. I'm sure it's hanging somewhere in there already.
Maybe you should be hanging in there.  >:(

Just tell them you hate everything that America stands for. That should get you an invite.

Ye, but I'd be in the back of the room. I would have to prove enough killings to get to the front. OTOH if I become a rap star...
