Apologists for Hamas should repudiate lack of morality

96. Dim. Your measuring stick is missing combined with good and expensive defense being effective

So, to be "fair" Israel must allow more of their civilians to be killed or injured to "justify" attempting to remove a constant threat? No sweat, just keep making the runs to the bomb shelters, maintain the missile defense, and when your people do get killed or hurt just write it off and hope the suicide bombers and kidnappers don't get through.

If you consistently miss, don't expect me to wait to shoot back until you hit me or to give the first thought that you are using a zip gun. I am going to do my best to end your threat.

Also, your numbers are false on both sides, this didn't just start. The current hard line government was elected as a response to some pretty severe terrorism. No population is going to just sit as they face such attacks, consider our own reactions to terrorism under much less constant threat. Hell, Iraq didn't even attack us and we unleashed Hell there, we have occupied and killed in Afghanistan for a decade plus, we are in Yemen, we helped destabilize Libya, we are in Pakistan daily, we have violated our own Constitution, we spy and collect the private data of the entire world.

I'd argue that Israel is more restrained than we'd be in anything like a similar situation and Hamas isn't peacefully firing warning shots but is rather taking indiscriminate shots with full intent to murder and kill civilians and poor marksmanship combined with good defense does not mitigate that relentless intent.

There is no moral requirement for people to just accept bombardment as a part of life. How many days a week are you okay with herding your children into bomb shelters? My answer is pretty much zero, yours may be some other number but I don't really buy it.
