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.

    Oh but you are. Because we’ve done this. We know how to deal with those problems without committing a genocide. The only reason to answer charges of genocide with , “but the kids might have weapons!” Is to blame the victims.
