  Nope. No you don’t get to go down that road. We dealt with that uncertainty in Iraq without causing a massive famine or using 2,000 pound bombs. They are no excuses for genocide, and certainly not victim blaming.

    It sounds like you’re saying if Jihadists use ambulances and children then there’s no defense. Just lay down and die.

      Sounds like you’re trying to limp every person in Gaza in with Hamas. Professional soldiers have procedures for those situations. Ones Israel isn’t using.

        I’m not.

        I’m very clearly saying that when you’re fighting a group who straps bombs to kids, you have to consider that even those appearing to be regular civilians might be a threat.

  The calculus changes when everything from ambulances to children could be actual, literal bombs.

  That’s a really weird way to say, “I’ll kill any Palestinian that moves, even the cattle, because I can’t even bother viewing them as human beings”.
