The faces and bodies of the innocent do not show up again and again in the dreams of the armchair generals around world but in the nightmares of those participating in the killing and those who witness.

That’s why I always ask, “Are you willing to participate in the killing you advocate from afar?”

Well, Hamas needs to cease fire, too. yagotme Oct 2023 #41

Beat the war drums, bomb and crush neighborhoods, Hamas killing randomly. Magoo48 Oct 2023 #45

Improper comparison: yagotme Oct 2023 #42

I doubt bombing densely populated areas is the best way to defeat Hamas IronLionZion Oct 2023 #6

I doubt Hamas is hiding out in the countryside in Gaza EX500rider Oct 2023 #7

Hamas are not the only people being killed, wounded, or losing their homes. IronLionZion Oct 2023 #8

Very few Wars have only Soldier casualties EX500rider Oct 2023 #9

Collective punishment is a war crime IronLionZion Oct 2023 #10

If Hamas is hiding in residential areas it is not EX500rider Oct 2023 #11

So what's an acceptable casualty ratio - 1 civilian for every 10 Hamas killed, 10 civilians for each Hamas, etc.? TheRickles Oct 2023 #21

Well 1st we won't know the ratio EX500rider Oct 2023 #22

Of course we won't know exactly. I was wondering what ratio would be OK if we had correct numbers. TheRickles Oct 2023 #24

I think the responsibility to get the civilians out of harms way is on their government EX500rider Oct 2023 #25

From a laws of war standard DetroitLegalBeagle Oct 2023 #26

Yes, lots of gray areas that are hard/impossible to calculate. TheRickles Oct 2023 #36

I'm surprises that are any churches in Gaza Polybius Oct 2023 #20

There are quite few Christian Palestinians. Most are Catholic. LeftInTX Oct 2023 #23
