    Those soldiers went in after the bombings. You’re inaccurately implying that they should have gone in without air support, which would have caused massive casualties to their side.

      which would have caused massive casualties to their side.

      And those are the only casualties that matter!

        In war, yes, it should be unsurprising that one’s own forces are considered more important to protect than enemy forces, or civilians from a hostile nation.

            I edited my comment to be more clear and concise, but you replied too soon, I had a feeling you’d interpret that phrase in the least charitable way possible.

            Civilians from a hostile nation is more accurate, although widespread public support of intifada doesn’t mean you’re entirely wrong. Despite this, israel is still choosing military targets, unlike their opponent.

              How exactly should have I interpreted the phrase “enemy civilians?” What is the charitable interpretation of that phrase?

                Civilians from an enemy nation that’s at war with yours

                  Gaza is not an enemy nation. It is not even a nation. This is supposed to be a war between Israel and Hamas. Not Israel and the Palestinian people. You are still saying all those children’s deaths were justified.

                    a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.

                    Sounds like a nation to me.
                    Hamas is the government of Gaza.
                    When one’s government goes to war, the people who live under it are subjected to the consequences. This is how war works.

              Ah, I see, you’re likely one of those singing that song. :(
