That's exactly the point. The original poster didn't include the militant - it was just that mean old Israeli helicopter attacking the innocent teddy-bear wielding child standing all alone in a wide open space. My addition is there to remind people that the Hamas is using weapons slightly more destructive than stuffed toys, and it is they who are hiding behind a civilian population, not the Israeli army going after innocent children.

Oh, please. You're acting like there was no one fighting on the other side, except perhaps in self-defense. I'm not pretending the situation is one-sided in Israel's favour, don't pretend it's the other way around, like the original poster implies. It's slightly more complex than that.
