"of course there are dead babies" as if 1 is not 1 too many. Also, don't underestimate the power of bureaucracy even during a genocide.

I hate to defend Israel here because they've gone off the deep end. But there was always going to be a response and unfortunately there was always going to civilian deaths, including children. Keeping those to a minimum is a big deal to any military trying to operate in good faith, but zero won't happen until we turn the moon into an arena and have all of our wars up there.

Keeping civilian deaths to a minimum is not something israel is interested in, their actions make it clear that they want to completely destroy life in gaza. This is 11 months of bombardment and torture and gangrape of detainees (on video) this is much more than a standard military response this is genocide

Yes I agree. I should have been more clear. I'm just trying to rebut the idea that 1 dead infant would or should stop a war. It sucks, I hate it, but it's just not how the world works, and good people do their best to keep that number as low as possible. Israel is showing us their military is not made of good people.
