You have a kindergartner's view on morality. If I'm holding up a bank with hostages around me, and SWAT comes in to take me out, but they accidentally shoot a hostage, the responsibility is in my hands.

Just wanted to let you guys know that are more people killed by Hamas tunnels in the Egypt side thats it.

Apples and oranges...Swats objective is to save the hostages...

Israel could care less how many Palestinian children they kill save for the bad publicity it brings

Collateral damage is damage to things that are incidental to the intended target. It is frequently used as a military term where non-combatants are accidentally or unintentionally killed or wounded and/or non-combatant property damaged as result of the attack on legitimate enemy targets.[1][2]


The USAF Intelligence Targeting Guide defines the term "[the] unintentional damage or incidental damage affecting facilities, equipment, or personnel, occurring as a result of military actions directed against targeted enemy forces or facilities. Such damage can occur to friendly, neutral, and even enemy forces".[1] Another United States Department of Defense document uses "[u]nintentional or incidental injury or damage to persons or objects that would not be lawful military targets in the circumstances ruling at the time. Such damage is not unlawful so long as it is not excessive in light of the overall military advantage anticipated from the attack."[4]

Intent is the key element in understanding the military definition as it relates to target selection and prosecution. Collateral damage is damage aside from that which was intended. Since the dawn of precision guided munitions, military "targeteers" and operationspersonnel are often considered to have gone to great lengths to minimize collateral damage.[5]


since collateral damage seems to be a popular term to be tossed about, I thought maybe we should hone the translation down just a tad.

What I don't see is, it described as: The loss of property and of civilian life that occurs with the indiscriminate bombing of a general area, in the sole purpose of killing your own captured soldiers so that they won't give any secrets to the enemy.

I'm not pro one side over the other, I'm for life, I wish the fighting would end but I don't think either side would let it sadly.

I'm not attempting to sway anyone when I talk about your homoerotic encounters with conspiracy theorists and your mad anti-Semite ravings that make a person believe you are the reincarnation of Adolf Eichmann.

Being anti-overwhelming military force was invented by the losers of conflict who thought it was unfair their enemy was so much bigger then them.

Hamas put their civilians at risk. Israel is fighting a war. You can't complain about civilian casualties when you engage in asymmetrical warfare.



Shh.

I notice a imbalance in escalation of post rage!!

facts and opinions may make someone contemplate your view but just spewing hate makes you look like a zealot without a discerning thought process

Lol so you have no credible argument and have resorted to calling me a gay Jew hater ....

In all fairness if it was an israeli swat team theyd be using RPGs.
