In reply to the discussion: Israeli Military Claims Responsibility for Church Blast in Gaza [View all]yagotme
(4,135 posts)42. Improper comparison:
Israel is PURPOSEFULLY trying to not kill civilians. Hamas goes out of it's way to kill civilians. Try again.
Would you be willing to help with the killing? How many of the armchair generals across the US would be willing to participate in the killing, no picking and choosing though, you must be willing to kill men, women, and children non combatants along with Hamas terrorists?
No picking or choosing is YOUR choice, not the combatants over there.

Your call for the elimination of Hamas would cost tens of thousands of innocents' lives.

Hamas are not the only people being killed, wounded, or losing their homes.

So what's an acceptable casualty ratio - 1 civilian for every 10 Hamas killed, 10 civilians for each Hamas, etc.?

Of course we won't know exactly. I was wondering what ratio would be OK if we had correct numbers.

I think the responsibility to get the civilians out of harms way is on their government
