How Israel accounts for civilian deaths
This letter from the Western Mail was tweeted by Nick Clark.
That is a clever PR argument by Stop the War Coalition. It is very naive.
Hamas present their thoughts in the Hamas Charter or Covenant. The charter, before its introduction, informs us: "...Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors."
Then read Article 22. Be scared if you belong to the Zionist Rotary Club.
The war, if it might be called so, is asymmetric on military strength. It is also asymmetric about intent.
Hamas is an extremist organisation seeking to kill all Jews. The IDF, once a strategic military machine, has lost its plot, but it does not seek to kill all Muslims.
What would be the point of war if civilians were not killed. They are part of the enemy. They feed and support the enemy. War is about winning by killing and occupying . It is not a game or a debate.
