`...design to hurt and intimidate civilians. It has no military value but to target innocent people. Remember suicide bombings in Israeli cafes, discos and buses.`
And if you`ll remember those bombings, you can comb through the actual lists of the victims and note that a remarkably large proportion were either reservists or soldiers on active duty.
The ratio really wasn`t much worse than that being logged by the forces of the IDF at the time.
What you object to isn`t the tactic -- if that was it, the actions of the IDF would horrify you. It`s your victims fighting back that`s the problem.
Give them your Merkavas and you can have their suicide belts. |
