Song for The Children of Gaza

[takingaim]

more muslims/arabs have been killed by other muslims/arabs than jews/israel ever will.

the truth.

Muslims don't get angry over the slaughter of their fellow Muslims by Muslim extremists. They only get angry when it's non-Muslims killing Muslims, especially when it's Jews.

[takingaim]

It seems that there's more Muslim outrage over this two week long defensive operation by Israel, than the entire 3 1/2 year war in Syria which has claimed the lives of over 150,000 Muslims, FAR more than Israel ever killed. If any of you can't see what's wrong with that, then you're lost.

Some 267 Palestinians - three-quarters of them civilians - have died since the start of the wider Israeli operation on 8 July, officials in Gaza say.

How is that Israeli ordinance managing to hit civilians who are in bomb shelters!?

the israelis have the best air force in the region, deploying advanced fighters.

over 600,000 men under arms.

4,000 tanks and tens of thousands armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles.

plus tens of thousands of artillery pieces like howitzers, rocket launchers, mortars.

you spout casualty numbers to try to portray israeli brutality.

I SEE THE NUMBERS AND SEE ISRAELI MILITARY RESTRAINT.

a single israeli apache attack helicopter can kill 267 palestinian civilians in a minute if that was israel's intent.

this is war. ppl die including civilians. that is just what happens in war.

I see the advanced technology of the powerful Israeli military and I think "with such sophisticated and accurate weapons, why so many civilian casualties?"

Deputy Prime Minister of Israel Eli Yishai:

"We must blow Gaza back to the Middle Ages destroying all the infrastructure including roads & water"

it's not a video game.

weapons still miss. gunners still shoot at the wrong thing. intelligence still misidentify targets.

look at the USA with all their magnificent toys. friendly fire AND civilian deaths is unavoidable.

now the israelis do want to punish/terrorize and be brutal.

that is a part of warfare. to intimidate.

but they are showing some restraint. a political necessity.

AND LET'S NOT PRETEND HAMAS IS TOO UPSET AT CIVILIAN CASUALTIES.

that's good for propaganda, good for recruiting, etc.
