Obama: Israeli military strategy ignoring human costs will 'backfire'

42. Goes with the Golda Meir quote

they "force us" to kill them.

For some reason, that is not striking me right. You have to take responsibility, you can claim it is justified, but it is still a choice - yeah I know you think there is no other way, no other choice, but one is still not forced to do a thing no matter how evil the others are.

It's more honest when you see the posts about "kids die in war too" so too bad. At least that's admitting it rather than claiming the bad guys forced me to do it.

Terrorists could be treated more like criminals who did criminal acts and identified and looked for and captured. If terrorists are the equivalent of armies of war, then when you retaliate and defend, you kill the civilians, at least admit that's what it is.

The US killed Japanese civilians knowingly, due to what their government did. This explains the claim "Hamas is the government." Though that is not as clear when there hasn't been an election in 15 years and the land was occupied.
