Casualties of War

On the news today there was a story concerning the Israeli army killing civilians in the recent war in Gaza and the dislike that soldiers in the army have for the Arabs. Well I thought about this briefly, like a New York minute, and came up with the answer.

Now when the Israeli army invaded Gaza, I thought it was to eliminate the rockets being fired by Hamas and other Arab militants that were killing unarmed Israeli civilians including women and children. Obviously, when you go to war not only are the militants killed, but when the hide among civilians, civilians will be killed. That is what happens in war throughout the ages. At least the Israeli army tried to eliminate civilian deaths, but under the circumstances sometimes it becomes an impossible task, as we found out in WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan. You cannot fight a war where civilians are living and not have them as casualties. Now as far as the soldiers not liking the Arabs, DUH. Since Israel was established as country in 1947 they have engaged in numerous conflicts against Arab countries that vowed to destroy them and some still do. Don’t you really think that they have reasons for this dislike. I mean, you think that we are in love with Al Qaeda. Well maybe the far left. But then again, most of them live in Hollywood and San Francisco.
