    from the snippet in the original post, emphasis mine:

    In the first three weeks of the current operation, Swords of Iron, the civilian proportion of total deaths rose to 61%, in what Levy described as “unprecedented killing”. The ratio is significantly higher than the civilian toll in all the conflicts around the world during the 20th century, in which civilians accounted for about half the dead.

    “The broad conclusion is that extensive killing of civilians not only contributes nothing to Israel’s security, but that it also contains the foundations for further undermining it,” Levy concluded. “The Gazans who will emerge from the ruins of their homes and the loss of their families will seek revenge that no security arrangements will be able to withstand.”

    This reads to me less like, “so we should definitely stop bombing them ASAP to mitigate that threat!” and much more like, “so we would probably just go ahead and kill them all to eliminate that threat,” especially considering it was published in Haaretz.

    also, the dude we’re supposed to be dunking on is a stinky poopoo head with pennies for brains and a shriveled little heart that resembles a dirty wad of crumpled cash
