You once chided me for pretending to be a foreign policy expert and now you're making points like this, as if you have even the slightest semblance of how things work in the military.  Impressive inconsistency that. 



Uh oh, someone just blamed Netanyahu for this war, better do some quick damage control in our next sentence.



Actually, it does.  One side deliberately kills civilians and puts them in harms way, the other does not.  This is yet more attempts by you guys to draw an equivalence between Hamas and Israel as if they are equally bad actors.  It's revolting.



Do you sincerely see no moral difference in an intentional and an unintentional civilian casualty?  You tend to duck these types of direct questions, but this is important.  Is there really no moral difference between the two in your eyes?

I am impressed by your ability to take everything I say and make it something else.

I don't have cya for anything.  I've been very clear that I think Netanyahu is a major problem in this entire situation...but obviously not the only one.

I'm not 100% convinced that BOTH sides are not deliberately killing civilians and putting them in harms way. Israel told people to move south...and then bombed them there.  Israel has bombed hospitals because they say one Hamas leader was there.  They know there will be civilian casualties and say "Eh, war...ya know".

Does that mean they are "equally" as bad as each other?  Of course not.  Any idiot would know that.  What it means is Israel does bad things too and seems to not only not care but gets upset that anyone would question them.

I never claimed to be an expert...I voiced my opinion that if the Israeli army is incapable of not bombing aide workers that have been cleared by the Israeli army they have some serious issues.

I want to give Israel the moral high ground...but they keep digging down further and further on their own.

All around the world, even within Israel there is waning support for Netanyahu's actions.  Are they all wrong?  

(I also realize this more about you not liking me so my opinion, no matter who agrees, will be seen as wrong and "repulsive"...lol.)
