It all depends on who the aggressors are. When they're your own people, and the other guys are really, really aggressive, it becomes easier to justify the wholesale slaughter of civilians.
Doesn't make it any less fucked, though.

@LordShadowfire So, hamas started it by gunning down people at a music festival, so the Israeli airforce can finish it? That does make sense.

@blokeinpub I'm saying Israel isn't any more justified in what they are doing from the air than the US was. Both wars could have been ended without massive loss of lives.

They savagely murdered hundreds, including babies and small children, in the communities.

@SW-User So by all means, Israel should be doing the same, right? That's what you're saying, right?

The Israelis have better press coverage for this bullshit, because they've been terrorising the Palestinians for generations. With checkpoints, intentional brown-outs, curfews, cutting off their water supply whenever they feel like it. The Palestinians have had to live for thousands of years under their tyrannical subjugation. Nevermind how the majority of Hasidic Jews openly spit on/shove just about anyone who isn't one of them.
And now that the Palestinians are finally getting access to better military resources, we're supposed to feel sorry for the oppressors?
I've never met a Palestinian I didn't like. Even the ones who weren't exactly friendly.
Whereas, most Jewish denominations will agree that the Hasidic Jews are a problem.
They're the Jewish equivalent of the Taliban extremists, and I hate that the US has kept them as a lap-dog.
