re: #205 Bubblehead II

But we didn’t. We killed civilian men, women and children without remorse, with the sole sole of goal of destroying an enemy’s capabilities to produce war/use war materials.

We did so with a great deal of remorse in many cases, and against an enemy that was fielding a well-equipped army, an enemy that could concievably defeat us or cause us hellish numbers of casualties— and themselves, as well.

So what are the Israelis doing that is any different?

Yes, very. A much, much more limited scope of war, as befits the much, much more limited engagement.

Other than holding back from total warfare against a weaker opponent out of fear of negative press?

I think it’s a massive insult to Israel to say that it’s because of fear of negative press. Is that really your view of the Israeli people?

Hit them and hit them hard. Make them realize they are going to loose and loose big.

That is the only way to bring this to an end,

Oh for fuck’s sake.

How hard, do you think? Would the death of a hundred thousand Palestinians bring the rest to their senses? What if the pesky devils kept on fighting after that, if they rose from the ashes and fired off some rounds? Another hundred thousand?

There is no comparison to WWII. none. Absolutely none. It makes no sense to try to compare it. There are no relationships between the conflicts. Zero. In the least. It is its own thing, in its own time, with its own causes and attempting to apply simplistic solutions to it is never, ever, ever going to work.
