Francorachel: if the capital crime is voting for hamas, what of those that didn’t vote for hamas? What of those that would change their mind if they could? Certainly, you are not suggesting that there are no such people in gaza.
Focusing on the evils acts done by many does not justify killing people of whom you have no knowledge of their complicity in the evil.
The only thing that justifies the killing of innocents is that the necessity of defending one’s self justifies some tragic unintended collateral damage.
Any moral argument regarding the correctness of IDF actions in gaza must focus on the necessity of the tragedy. Arguments that say “the civilians/children had it coming” are morally bankrupt and are not all that far from Hamas’s evil mentality.
