Oh well, just keep giving them more bombs. I'm sure it will be fine.

It really seems that Israel is hellbent on civilian harm.

What do two wrongs make again? Hell on earth?

Less Israel, rather Bibi and his cronies.

While people are raw and angry like in 9-11, an absurd number of people (about 80% or beyond) blames the actual government for the attacks.

Civilian harm is the whole point here. These are not countries fighting each other. These are two insane and violent cults with a sick fixation on cutting up childrens genitalia.

Wow that took a turn halfway through the last sentence.

On CBC News Network last night they had on a spokesperson for the IDF and he was asked very pointedly "what assurances do we have that you are minimizing collateral damage as we are aware of plenty of civilians that are being wrongly targeted by these attacks"

The response was a very blunt (and paraphrasing again) "we have made an executive decision and you need to understand that these civilian deaths have been accepted as the result of this military campaign."

So officially from the IDF is that they are ok killing civilians.

The US should have lead by example

Excuse me but we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.

They certainly do in bombing muslims. Israel follows US in what it sees, not what it hears.

There's a way you can minimize civilian harm and you're not going to like it.

(pulling of all funding, application of sanctions and boycotts on all their companies)

And if you want to speed up the process, you can deliver your munitions to them in a different way.

This is precisely why, as a principle, never believe whatever someone says, but what they do in real world, and what the end result is.
