I am okay with the above. A majority of the non-direct combatant Arab citisenry has made it clear that they are (1) virulently anti-semitic; (2) supportive of the destruction of Israel; (3) willing to give aid, comfort and husbands, fathers, and teenage sons to the cause. The civilian population of Gaza, Syria, Lebanon et al. are behind this effourt. They have allowed Hizbowllah to intermingle within them for cover. they house them, feed them, assist their supply lines etc.
You lay down with the devil.....
We didn't win WWII without civilian casualties and the civilians there were not innocents. They supported racist, genocidal, imperialistic regimes. Similiar construct here.
The point I got from reading yesterday's Times is, for Israel to stop without destroying these guys will be a castrophic disaster.
