frumnotyeshivish: In a democracy you are stuck with the idiots you elected, even if you don’t vote for them. Plenty of Germans never voted for Hitler or Tojo (both of whom were democratically elected). The majority of the Palestinians want a government that will resist Israel and will not give up the Palestinian claim on Eretz Yisrael – and their government does what the people want. It was their decision to build tunnels instead of bomb shelters, and rockets instead of industrial goods. — And its unfair to talk about “children” since we normally let parents decide on behalf of their children, and until recently even in the United States, a high percentage of soldiers were too young to have ever voted, so that’s no hiddush. Wars aren’t supposed to be nice or pleasant, and they almost never are.
