In reply to the discussion: 'Total outrage': White House condemns Israeli settlers' attack on Gaza aid trucks [View all]Oopsie Daisy
(4,299 posts)84. I'm not justifying anything. I'm simply explaining the reality of how it is.
I understand it's an emotional subject, but the fact remains that Hamas is to blame. They are the ones who put civilian lives at risk. They know what will happen, but they do not care. They likely WANT the civilians to be in danger... not only because they are cowards, but because they can use it for propaganda.

The objective is to destroy Hamas. These actions are in furtherance of the objective.

You don't blow up the bank with the hostages just so you can get the bank robbers. What is wrong with you?
