  • Anytime you are doing any kind of military or police action within a civilian area there is always the risk of unintended civilian harm.

    If police and military forces took this doctorine that any amount of risk is too much then they simply would be unable to operate.

    There has to be a certain amount of acceptable civilian risk and that should be proportional to the threat you are attempting to stop.

    Just to clarify, I’m not advocating that Israel is taking acceptable risks. But I am advocating that those risks will always exist with ANY police or military action and the primary debate is over where the red line of acceptable/unacceptable is.






  • That’s what makes the whole thing complicated, isn’t it?

    Israel shouldn’t have existed to begin with and when it did, it shouldn’t have acted the way it has since its inception.

    Yes, Israel is to blame for Hamas having power in Gaza today as well.

    I’m not arguing that Israel isn’t a bad guy here.

    What I’m arguing is I don’t see an alternative that doesn’t just kick the can down the road.
