Which is weird because they do more THAN ANY NATION IN HISTORY at limiting civilian casualties. What other nation calls the building before bombing it to warn the people inside? What other nation drops a small bomb first after the phone call to show they are serious? Yes, mistakes have been and will be made. It's especially hard to limit casualties when the local bad guys force civilians to stay in certain places at gun point. It's especially hard when the bad guys use their hospitals, schools, ambulances and UN facilities (all 4 of those are documented have happened in the last week) to hide or launch their terror weapons.
The IDF cares and SHOWS they care more about civilians in Gaza than the people in charge of Gaza. I don't understand how any thinking person can come up with any other conclusion.
Well hate to agree with Snowstalker, but I think it's rather clear there is quite a discrepancy between words and practice regarding civilians on the other side. But I suppose I'm not a member of the exclusive club of "thinking persons" for failing to reach the correct conclusion.
But then again, I would think that thinking persons would also have a better way of describing complex issues than speaking of "good guys" and "bad guys" all the time.
That said, Israel
is entitled to self-defense, and except for anti-semites, it's hard to come up with a reason why they wouldn't have that right. But Israel is a good example for how someone can be in the right but take things to a point where even neutral people start to disagree. (Naturally, you won't agree with this, but that's ok
)
