    Move on? It is going on NOW. This isn't some historical, memorial grudge. And if you are USian? You pay for this, instead of highways and healthcare at home.

    "Why have they killed only a few hundred children, instead of all of them?"

    There's a strong moral defense for the Israeli practice of driving a population out of their homes, into a confined reservation, then carpeting the enclosed with illegal munitions as collective punishment.

    Many of the Gazans are Christian. From the 2009 assault on Gaza:

    "Israeli missiles hit Hamas targets but also destroyed civilian buildings in the densely packed territory, including a Christian medical clinic in Shijaiya that had provided free health care to the poor since 1968. Atallah Tarazi, a Christian surgeon at Gaza City's Shifaa Hospital, said two ambulances were hit and six of his paramedics killed, and lamented the high percentage of civilian casualties received by his hospital.

    Gaza's Christian community of 2,500 suffered at least three deaths in the fighting—including 14-year-old Christine Turok, who died of a heart attack from fear—and Gaza Baptist Church and the Palestinian Bible Society were damaged by Israeli airstrikes.

    A broad cross-section of Christian agencies mobilized aid to Gaza and southern Israel.

    Some Palestinians have, if at all, just seconds to leave before an attack but many do leave and flee to the school buildings that under control of the United Nations. The schools are opened especially for this and the UN personnel take care of the refugees and keep both "militants" and weapons out of its buildings.

    It also provides the Israeli military with the exact coordinates of the schools. So guess what happens next:

    Israeli shells hit UN shelter in Gaza:

    As many as 30 people have been reported killed and 100 injured in the Israeli shelling of a UN school in Gaza that was being used as an emergency shelter.

    Al Jazeera's correspondent Nicole Johnston, reporting from Gaza, said the school in Beit Hanoun came under shelling on Thursday. She said sources had told Al Jazeera that up up to 30 people had been killed in the bombardment.

    The AFP reported a UN official as confirming "multiple dead and injured".

    In an interview with Al Jazeera, Robert Turner, the director for UNRWA, the UN's refugee organisation in Gaza, said there was no warning from the Israelis before the shells landed. He confirmed there were casualties.

    He said the UNRWA were in contact with Israeli forces about a window to evacuate the school before the attack happened

    "This is a designated emergency shelter," he said. "The location was conveyed to the Israelis.

    "This is the fourth strike on our installations in three days."

    Four attacks on well known refugee centers within three days. Does anyone still believe that such attacks are some random accidents?

    You basically argue: "We have a right to violate the norm of humanity and just, moral behavior because of a military expediency."

    I spoke with the head military lawyer for the IDF, Joel Zinger. And I said “It’s clear you people are inflicting Nuremberg crimes on the Palestinians. Exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews. What’s your explanation?”

            He said: “Military necessity.”

            Notice, he didn’t disagree with me.

            I said: “That argument was rejected at Nuremberg when the lawyers for the Nazis made it.”

            And then he said: “Well, we have public relations people in the United States and they handle these matters for us.”

    When it comes down to it, Gaza was provoked into lobbing "Estes model rockets" into the land of their attackers, and then Israel respond with cluster munitions, flechette weapons and white phosphrous on the heads of children and cripples.

    This is what I would expect from your shitty little racist country.

    Define a circle.

    Do circles exist in reality, or only in mathematical models?

    What do engineering artifacts, as approximations of circles, bear in relation to "real" circles?

    Are infinities actual, or are they mathematical descriptions for mental extrapolations based in observed phenomena?

    Do mathematical models display consistency with real, observable phenomena or with any mental extrapolation? Which one is more "real"? Why?

    Mathematics can only describe the set of perceptions, IMHO. When they describe unperceived "realities" they enter the realm of fictions or metaphysics.

    Your joke is not very funny. :/

    You must be a visitor from Colonslash. That's another site, with a different posting culture. This is Slashdot, where anything is deemed "funny" by making comments that are equal parts clever and obtuse, in reference to a parent posting.

    There are plusses awarded in "funny" for meta-references to the topic of posting, and the specific modes of posting, when used in the cited context.

    You will have to forgive me, I began as a USENET chatbot, skipped IRC and was ported directly to slashcode.

    P.S. Do "circles" exist? I have only encountered engineering approximations. Believing in "circles" is akin to a kind of theism, I think.
