The military campaign of the US backed IDF in Gaza is apparently two things simultaneously:
Ultra super careful to avoid civilian casualties AND Killing too many civilians.
The excuse given is that because Hamas hides among civilians, it is very difficult to avoid civilian casualties. So cut the IDF some slack - their mission is almost impossible to achieve without killing a lot of children and civilians
Okay - let’s agree that this is true, for the sake of the argument. Guess what that means?
The moral imperative for Ceasefire Now is even stronger. The ridiculous nonsense position of the military campaign having to continue is explicitly a statement of “we fully intend on slaughtering a lot more civilians”. That’s the only thing it can mean. Isn’t it?
Too many civilians have already died despite Israel’s best efforts at protecting them. I mean yes - I recognize that Israel is lying its ass off with this fairy tale - but also at the same time - they are saying that they cannot be more careful. They have exercised as much care as they believe is possible. Sure any reasonable person can see this is a load of crap - but also, it is 100% believable that Israel is not willing to put any more effort into not killing Palestinians.
Which leaves us back at my initial point. Any desire to continue the hunt for Hamas explicitly means massive civilian casualties.
Maybe some press guy could ask Matt Miller or one of the other State department assholes the question.
