Hamas firing missiles at Israeli civilians is unobjectionable. But Israel giving notice before they fire a rocket into civilian areas or bulldoze a house isn't? Wow, how thoughtful of them. Anyone who thinks the IDF isn't the master of collective punishment, just ask the 10 year old boys who, while throwing stones at tanks get shot in the shoulder, the elbow, the knees, the ankles. Not enough to kill them. Just enough to handicap them for life though.
Interesting hypotheses on the living with terror, adopt terror standpoint rb. Don't hear that angle to often.
I wouldn't guess it was as easy as clearing out the old stock of ammo before restocking courtesy of the new president.
Maybe the USA should stop treating Israel like a welfare state and instead of billions given, all the while Israel wipes her butt with the Geneva Convention as well as the UN, the USA could pass out homemade rockets and bags of stones to the Israeli's, to somewhat illustrate a fair fight. My guess would be that a peace plan wouldn't be to far behind.
