Everyone always says, "Dont hurt the civilians in that (insert group here) held city!" You know what? Everyone in that city is fucking helping that (insert group here city). I'll prove it to you. When Germany invaded France (without warning( during WWII, the French civilians fled, so many fled, in fact, that they clogged the streets. German and Allied units got stuck behind these traffic jams of people. The French civilians carried their stuff by car, by horse, by foot. One city in Lorraine went from a population of 20,000 to 2,200. I shit you not. Look it up. When North Vietnamese troops launched the Tet offensive and attacked the city of Hue without warning, the civilians abandoned the ENTIRE city. During the War of 1812 , when the British entered Washington D.C., people were in the middle of fleeing. Why do you think they used to fight out side of cities back in the Napolionic times? To save civilians the trouble of having to flee. Why populous, famous cities during the WWII declared open cities? To save the city and prevent civilians from having to flee. It is true that not all people can flee an attacked city and it is also true that people choose to stay after a city is occupied BUT you mean to tell me that thousands of inhabitants inside the Gaza Strip or Fallujah (in Afghanistan) didnt have the chance or ability to flee a city they KNEW had a militarant force in it and was going to be continously attacked by uniformed soldiers? No, they knew and they were/are there to support that militarant group just like civilans were their to support militarants during the Hungaraian Revoultion and Warsaw Uprising. You cant tell me that me that men in uniform and a clear invasion annoucement on t.v. isn't a fair warning, because militarant groups dont do that. They dress like civilians and attack from hidden locations or at night WITHOUT warning. You cant argue that Israel wont accept "Paleistians" or Arabs because thousands (at least) of Arabs, Muslims and Christians live in Israel. ALL of these Israeli Arabs, Muslims, Christians have the choice to move to another country. Israel is surronded by Arab, muslim-friendly nations and Israel holds good relations with Western Christian-friendly nations.
