Palestinians Have a Right to Defend Themselves!

133. Fred's mistakes

Fred's mistake is he does not realize it is not true that Israel sent only "precision munitions." Much of Israeli fire were inaccurate artillery. Also taking out the power plant was effective in reducing the number of rockets Hamas could launch. He also does not appreciate the videotapes Israel produced of the missions that were aborted out of concern there would be civilian casualties. Sometimes you have to take out an apartment of 30 to knock out one terrorist, though "30" is an exaageration of what happened since Israel says about half the Palestinian deaths were militants. The United states would have saved many lives if it took down the airlines before they hit the World Trade Center. Fred would of course complain that there were more civlian human shields on the plane than terrorists. But you have to look at the big picture at what happens if you give terrorists carte blanche.
