http://www.fair.org/blog/2014/07/28/cbs-host-palestinians-force-israel-to-kill-kids/In the Middle East, the Palestinian people find themselves in the grip of a terrorist group that has embarked on a strategy to get its own children killed in order to build sympathy for its cause, a strategy that might actually be working, at least in some quarters.
Last week, I found a quote of many years ago by Golda Meir, one of Israel's early leaders, which might have been said yesterday. "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children," she said, "but we can never forgive them for forcing us to kill their children."...
To suggest that Hamas desires that Palestinian children be murdered is offensive and irresponsible in the extreme. It's the basic mistake of worldviews like antisemitism and Islamophobia: assuming that the people you hate lack basic human motives and instead are driven by their inhuman, alien perspective.
Derp.

We wouldn't have to kill you if you just gave us your land.

It's a mindset. They believe their own propaganda.

With a scene of a Vietnamese funeral followed by General William Westmoreland's own words. I'm not surprised that Bob Schieffer would support Golda Meir considering with his views.

Who can blame Israel for killing all those civilians and children. The'd probably just vote for Hamas again if their ever stupid enough to hold another election.
Thank God we have journalists like Bob Schieffer who can lay it all out for us in plain english.
