“This was intentional,” said U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib. “You don’t accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, ‘It was a mistake.’”

What if he was surrounded by your family? Would you still do it then?
That’s the price that you are asking others to pay for your war
You’re right, I wouldn’t. But you must realise trolley dilemmas are shit for exactly this reason. It exposes the fact that, at the end of the day, yes, we will prioritise our own children over someone else’s. What people don’t seem to acknowledge is that this is the choice presented to Israel. People act like the choice is “kill children or don’t kill children” as if it’s that black and white and crude. When it’s really “kill Hamas now with collateral damage or wait for the next time they deliberately target women, children, babies”. They’re the actual two tracks to choose between. I don’t blame Israel for killing Hamas wherever they find them and not accepting their cowardly attempt to use their relatives as shields.
