I don't think anyone expressed lack of empathy for the civilians and children being killed. I think the thread was about Israel being blamed for defending themselves. War is crap...it just is.
As for what is going on now with Hadar Goldin...I am wondering if this is legitimate. I just heard he is "dead" but no one is saying how or where. I am wondering if he really is or if that is what Israel is saying because they have no idea where he is so they are trying to get Hamas to admit to having him to keep Israel from bombing a location where he might be being kept?
If, in fact, he is dead, it helps Israel because it eliminates a bargaining chip..how awful to think of a person as a bargaining chip. Last soldier who was alive was traded for over a thousand Palestinian soldiers.
Like I said, war is just crap. There are so few winners...and they are never the civilians.
