re: #350 positivecrusader

Every civilian casualty is a tragedy. And yes it’s used for propaganda. The question is what do you do when the people firing rockets at you deliberately puts their launchers in populated areas? It’s a serious dilemma. But in the absence of any other solution I think you just have to do what the IDF has been doing - providing as much warning it can to the civilians to get out, and then taking out the launchers and weapons caches, and hoping/praying that civilians don’t get hurt.

That’s kind of why we’re condemning Gilad Sharon for being a total shithead, because what he’s saying is such a contemptible rejection of that.

However, it isn’t true that warning is always provided. The attack on the media building— although very limited— was not preceded with any direct warning.
