re: #670 Obdicut

So your version of what’s best to do is really for Israeli citizens to continue dying while they try to develop better and better interception tech?

As opposed to Palistinian citizens continuing to die while they try to develop better and better accuracy tech?

Again, do not mistake this for a condemnation of Isreal as a people. As far as I am concerned, the whole mess is a tragedy of enormous scale, and the victims in all of this are the people on either side of the wall just trying to live their lives in peace. The unfortunate fact is that people are going to die either way.

An innocent Palestinian life has just as much value as an innocent Isreali life (both are priceless). Given a choice between a course of action that involves someone dying because a bomb was dropped, versus a course of action that involves someone dying because an interception system wasn’t up to snuff, I feel that the latter would be preferable on the basis that nobody pulled a trigger and accepted the loss of innocent life as a necessary byproduct.
