Well said, Harold. Netanyahu says that “things happen” in war. What a banal comment! (Another example is the IDF’s killing three released Israeli hostages waving a white flag.) This retribution is being carried out with the opposite of surgical precision.
Netanyahu’s goals are to exterminate Hamas
as quickly as possible and also retrieving the hostages. I am only an armchair military strategist, but it seems that those two goals are incompatible. Watching him use his military in a madcap rage is sickening and disappointing. In creating a shitstorm, he is the one being covered in ordure—and it is falling on his countrymen as well. We in the U.S. need to try our best to keep our hands clean of this poorly managed atrocity.
