The apostle Paul tells us in Romans 12:17-21 that we are "not to repay evil for evil. But if possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.' To the contrary, 'if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
In other words, my friend, we are called to love our enemies, and to do good to those who despitefully use us. We are not called to repay evil for evil, but to overcome evil with good. So, the next time someone like Ben Shapiro comes around, let us remember what Paul says and take the high road.
It's messed up, but he's right. If opposing soldiers are hiding between regular citizens and you mean to go on the offensive, most you can do is warn them to leave. If they don't, it's either on them or those who keep them hostage. The only alternative is to defend forever, likely never able to get rid of the threat. Those are your two choices.
If you are lurking in civilian areas, you probably don't have a shot at a fair fight. Every dead civilian is another reason to fight, is another awful headline for the enemy. It's a morbid strategy, but it's one that works with inferior numbers and equipment.
It's also good to value the lives of your soldiers over the enemy in a strategic sense, but it's another issue morally if you pit those against civilians. Which is why above tactic is very popular with terrorists
Good point. And in this particular case no other Arab nation is willing to take in Palestinian refugees and for the Jews it would mean to give up more than a century of investment. One side couldn't leave even if they wanted and the other absolutely does not want to... On the other hand, maybe Europe's still interested in "skilled workers"

Russia got hit with that same flak when Azov was running patrols out of elementary schools during the siege of Mariupol. Schools in which classes had even been canceled due to there being all kinds of armed Slavshits in the streets, of course. The narrative is more important than the truth. Always has been, always will be.

Morally literate, don't let Palestinians have their own country put them in cage and when they got pissed at the situation kill 2,5 millions of them because it's morally right
Not like morally illiterate Hitler with his holocaust
They tried giving them their own country on multiple occasions and every single time the Palestoids chimp out and start an r-slured war. They do this no matter what. Occupy Palestine? Lol terrorist attacks. Unoccupy Palestine? Lol terrorist attacks. They're r-slurred like pitbulls and killing them all is the best outcome for everybody involved including the Palestoids and neighboring Arabs

violence and war is not always bad, sometimes its even necessary there is no way palestine becomes decolonized peacefully at this point so bring it on. The axis of resistance and Iran will win in the end
violence and war is not always bad, sometimes its even necessary there is no way palestine becomes decolonized peacefully at this point so bring it on.
I understand the utility of war as an option, sometimes it's the only one left. With how the Israelis have conducted themselves it was clear they aren't interested in any kind of peace even after the Palestinians accepted the '67 borders.
I just try to always express regret at loss of human life in war, even when I believe it's justified because I don't think anyone should feel the kind of terror that war brings.
