So Israel is responsible to protect its citizens no matter what? If it is nevessary to kill thousands of children it will be done. The end justify the means.

"So Israel is responsible to protect its citizens no matter what?"

• Israel is responsible to protect its citizens, while following applicable law. If your neighbor explicitly says he wants to kill your family and tries again and again and again, killing one of your babies each and every year. What options do you have? You must end this neighbor.
• What alternative do you see for Israel? Putting down their weapons and let their people eliminated? How many Holocausts are necessary?

"The end justify the means."

• Do you really imply that Israel applies inappropriate means?

And concerning the myth of "innocent civilians" in Gaza, I recommend reading @apshamilton: https://peakd.com/gaza/@apshamilton/gazans-are-not-victims-of-hamas-they-are-the-crucible-that-created-the-monster

If I have a neighbor family with kids and the father of them threats me with a gun, i have the right to kill him, not the entire family.

And if my neighbor provokes me to kill his children for instance, and I do so, I am still the main responsible for it. So even if Hamas provoked Israel to slaughter children, Israel is still the main culprit for the abhorrent crime.

• And if you shoot at him and he puts his family in front of him, so his family dies - who is culpable?

So even if Hamas provoked Israel to slaughter children, Israel is still the main culprit for the abhorrent crime.

• This is utter nonsense and against the fact that Hamas uses children as protective shields.

if I see that he is capable of that, I will avoid killing the innocents and wait for the appropriate moment to kill only him.

Even if Hamas uses children as shields, that does not allow me to kill the children freely.

Please get into reality. This is a war and not a disney movie.

[discernente]

The reality is that even at war there are laws to protecti civilians. Killing children will always be an abhorrent crime, be it at war or not.

[zuerich]

Sure.

If you would be in the situation of the IDF soldier, you would not shoot because you could kill a child. Really, let's stop that nonsense.
