I seem to recall someone who opposed roundup and mass executions of unarmed Palestinian males aged 18-44, or some such, because such hysterical, indiscriminate war crimes would forfeit the moral high ground and amount to nothing more than murder.
Many Palestinians despise Hamas, but even if there was only ONE fighting age male in the whole land who despised Hamas, murder is murder.
Resorting to the same tactics as the savage animals we oppose would serve only to drive more moderate elements into the arms of the extremists, and would make us no better than them.
So, yes, despite the barbaric behavior of Hamas, I continue to oppose mass executions of all unarmed Palestinian males simply for the crime of existing inside the wrong lines on a map.
And so does Netanyahu, thankfully, because he wisely wants his nation, Israel (a tiny speck surrounded by the expansive Islamic world) to continue to exist.
The foolishness of advocating such mass murder would be both shortsighted and counterproductive, and most civilized minds, military or otherwise, can comprehend that.
I’m not advocating mass-murder at all, just mast-targeting. If the demographic (18-44 yo Palestinian males) feel threatened personally, they will self-extract themselves from the theatre.
Certainly you realize the rockets are being fired from 18-44yo Palestinian men.
Or maybe you don’t.
