•More than half of the population of Gaza is under eighteen. That includes 11, 12, 13 year old boys and girls and all of the younger children. “Animals”, every one?
How much sway did you have over your community at that age?
Hardening your heart will only make the situation simpler at the cost of your soul.
I was specific when I only referred to the Hamas terrorists as "animals".

It has been established that Hamas is counting on their enemies morality when Hamas uses those children as human shields. (The parents of those children apparently sanction Hamas’ use of their children as human shields - or fighters - , which makes the parent of those children animals in my book too.) - How does one deal with that level of depravity when attempting to neutralize the threat the Hamas animals pose to Israel???
When an enemy has no compunction about killing your children, and is willing to use their own children as human shields -or fighters - , the "impossible choice" needs to be made.
Tragic??? Absolutely.
Necessary??? Absolutely.
