The irony is that never in history has any war where the terrorists deliberately place their targets among civilians resulted in a lower civilian to fighter ration of deaths. IN HISTORY. And most of the civilians were killed because they were near high value legitimate targets.1/

Under Geneva, civilians do not shield legitimate targets, unless their loss is not proportionate. The rules on proportionality depend on the opinion of a "reasonable military commander" given intel at that moment.

So as regrettable as this was, it was legal and part of war. 2/

Israel is literally the model for avoiding unnecessary civilian deaths - and it is vilified as some sort of monster, when its critics cannot point to any time in history that an army did better at avoiding civilian casualties.

1000 heavy bombs - and few of them killed anyone.3/

People who hold up photos of dead Gazan kids LOVE dead Gaza kids. They use them as props. Israel cares more about those kids than these hypocrites do. Israel spends hundreds of millions to avoid hurting them, the hypocrites don't give a penny to improve their lives.

It is obvious: Dead civilians only help Hamas and people who support Hamas. Israel has no interest in killing them (or reporters, SMH.) People accusing Israel of targeting kids are Jew-hating liars.

And yet, the world media cannot ferret out simple facts.

How hard would it be to find a retired high ranking US or European military officer and ask them whether they think Israel acted inappropriately? Whether they would have done better?

Not one reporter bothers. Because they support the anti-Israel meme, not the truth.

Sometimes, the world really is against you. And Israel will continue to act as morally as possible - securing the lives of both its citizens and the civilians of its enemies - no matter what others say and lie.

And that's the way it will always be.
