Here's my question; are people seriously arguing that Israel targeted the UN school to... what? Kill refugees and aid workers? Destroy any international goodwill they might have had left?

To send a message, just like Hamas.  The idea that Palestinians deserve "collective punishment" for allowing Hamas to come to power and operate is not an uncommon one in Israel (see: burningpet's posts).  Indeed, it to some degree exists in official Israeli policy - that's why the blockade places strict limits on food imports into Gaza.

When did i say the palestines should be punished for hamas actions?

The second one is somewhat plausible, the first... not really.

Like I guess it's technically possible for three highly inaccurate rockets to all misfire in exactly the same way and hit the same target, but that seems insanely unlikely.

No, its extremely plausible since its not the fault of the rockets, its the fault of the launcher.

I'm going to lock this thread because I haven't moderated it for a long time now, and it has gone beyond my ability to fact-check. I look forward to whatever discussions arise in the future.

Thank you everyone for your many constructive comments, and no thank you to the occasional non-constructive comments.
