    The IDF has killed or captured two-thirds of the al-Qassam brigades and it makes me happy

      They’ve also killed an uncountable number of civilians and that makes me sad.

      As this seems to be a requirement these days. Hamas bad, IDF bad, and Hezbollah are bad.

      I’m sick of people who justify the actions of Israel because of the other guys, when only one is a nation state playing in the gutter with terrorists and acting no better.

        Yes, civilian casualties are a sad reality of war. Currently the best estimate is 1.3 civilians for every Hamas fighter, which is considerably better than the US Army achieved in Fallujah (7:1).

        Well, I certainly don’t. I justify the actions of Israel because they’re achieving real military objectives in a war of survival they didn’t start while acting with the utmost restraint with regards to the civilian population of Gaza.
