    How many children died in this attack on a residential complex in a crowded city?

      For what reason do you think they’d build their HQ there and not far away from the population?

      This actually reminds me of that modified hellfire the US made in which they basically removed the explosives and installed a metal slug with blades, which they used to kill Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders in the last few years in Afghanistan.

      The idea being that the kinetic warhead would greatly reduce the collateral and allow pinpoint precision on targets in a dense area.

      Of course Israel could never. They decided to go with fitting bombs onto pagers & walkie talkies, and their age old strategy of leveling entire buildings hoping the target is inside. Gotta win that maximum civilian death trophy at any cost.

      Oh is this what we’re doing this week? Pretending Hezbollah are good guys? Why aren’t you calling out Hezbollah for using civilians as human shields if that’s the case?

        If someone use a human as a shield does that mean its okay to kill the human shield to get to the terrorist?

        I mean in a similar vein, that is like killing all the hostages in a robbery and then saying “nobody is condemning the robbers for hiding behind other humans”

        We can’t call out people for an accusation you can’t really prove. Unless you’re arguing that all militaries and militias should have all of their combatant and non-combatant agencies away from the population centers they have to defend.

        Not a single rocket fired into Israel has been from Beirut.

      How come these terrorist fuckwads surround themselves with women and children when they’re being hunted by the IDF? Easy solution to not being killed, don’t be a terrorist, and don’t hang out with terrorists. Boom easy

        Odd, you’re using terrorist fuckwads and IDF as if they’re two separate things?

        Also the Kirya is located in a residential area, I’m guessing you’re in favour of Tel Aviv being bombed?

        Heaven forbid a human have a family! Just because they are terrorists doesn’t mean they’re not people like the rest of us.
