Why even discussing this, we all know that we in The West and our allies never kill civilians. That is 'innocent' civilians. But hey ho, we all know they are other civilians we are very pragmatic to debate their innocence, the browner their skin, closer they are to their Allah, more pragmatic we are.
We are Israel and Israel is us, why is anybody even pretending we fecking care about Palestinian. Never did, never will do. IDF is just doing what many in the west (politicians and the media) would like to have been doing, but were prevented at some point in the past by 'the public opinion'. And that changed now, after the carnage a decade long culture war has left. I am reading The TImes on the way back from the office, it is like reading The Jerusalem Post. And The Guardian makes Haaretz reading like Socialist Worker.
