So, to recap, Assholes firing cheap rockets blindy kill 3 civilians.
Score from one of the best trained, best armed military forces on earth? 1300~ killed, 156 of which were combatants. One hundred and Fifty Six, out of over one thousand three hundred.
wut.the.fuck
Gets better:
-Use of incentiary white phosphorus rounds in areas densly packed with civilians. If you want to look up what that does to people, wait until after lunch.
-Inumerable accounts of firing on civilian and Aid related targets, from which no Hamas fire was reported. The extremes of this being the shelling of UN warehouses and schools, and soldiers executing a 10 year old girl.
Going into this, Israel said their goal was to make it impossible for Hamas to fire missles from Gaza. Apparently their tactic was to bring such horror and slaughter to the civilian people of Gaza that they would no longer allow militants to fire rockets from their neighborhoods.
or
"Intent on targeting the members and infrastructure of Hamas" really meant killing off as many voters as possible.
Fucking pathetic excuse for a military operation.
There are two sides to every war, and both side of this one are murderous assholes with a zealous feeling of entitlement. Why are we supportive of one of them?
