Thread Name: Palestine (continuation)
Subject: RE: Palestine (continuation)
I told you I accept there were heavy civilian casualties.
The Haaretz piece I provided explains the extraordinary efforts of the IDF to minimise them.
But for the missiles, none of it would have happened.
The illegal use of human shields by Hamas was the cause of all those "maimed and slaughtered and maimed women and children (and old people if we are talking about hospitals)"

Whatever colour text you use, Israel was driven to act by the murderous rain of missiles on its people, and had to fight those responsible as they hid behind their own civilian population, and who then cynically exploited for propaganda their broken and burned bodies.
