(9,141 posts)99. If Israel is so good at limiting civilian deaths
Why are we seeing thousands of images of dead kids with parts of their heads missing, kids with missing limbs, rows of dead kids feet sticking out from rubble, etc. You think thats a good job!
Never before has the world seen such sad images on our phones day after day. Our 10 yr olds are seeing these images on TicToc. When I was a kid, I cried when Bambi died & that was a movie - our kids are seeing mutilated kids daily and luckily are so much more compassionate than people on here - thousands of comments by our US kids how they want to hug and adopt these kids.

Of course, it also ignores the nearly equal number of Jews who fled or were expelled from Arab countries

So you're advocating for the entire population to be treated as enemy combatants?

The point I was making... is that the IDF has the capability to strike individual fighters.

It was actually Fatah who feared Hamas would also beat them in the West Bank, as well as Gaza

Seems like the Palestinians would like a bunch of Palestinians out of Palestine.

One thing about the tactic of keeping the Palestinian people in poverty to get rid of them.
