Idiots.

 I saw two people posting on social media today about some imagined outrage of the IDF or another.  In one case the author didn't even bother to mention 10/7 and provide the obligatory "Well, Hamas is bad, but..." disclaimer.  While the other did add the disclaimer, they balanced it out by repeating the "genocide" myth which just makes him look stupid.  

The reality is that the IDF could eradicate every living thing in Gaza in a matter of a few days with virtually zero risk or casualties to the IDF.  While historically air power and artillery doesn't win wars, in this case the IDF could flatten Gaza using both of those tools.  The reality is that the IDF has chosen to take the riskier path and send in ground troops (and incur the inevitable casualties) precisely because they don't want to wipe Gaza off the face of the earth.   I readily acknowledge is that one reason for this choice is PR.  The reality is that Israel is held to a higher standard of conduct, and absolutely has to make every effort to minimize civilian casualties.  If idiots are calling this "genocide", imagine what they'd be saying if the IDF really did go scorched earth on Gaza.  

Of course, both of these geniuses neglected to mention the years of Hamas launching unguided rockets into civilian areas, sending suicide bombers into Israel, and just generally blowing things up and killing/wounding innocent civilians.  They neglect to mention Israel supplying it's enemies with water and electricity or that Hamas has received billions of dollars in aid, yet chooses to spend that money on weapons and infrastructure designed to kill Jews instead of for the welfare of it's subjects.   They fail to mention that Hamas is taking the aid that is getting through for itself and it's fighters instead of taking care of the "innocent civilians".   

It's amazing how the APL is so willing to ignore evil, in it's relentless drive to paint Israel as the problem.
