@mohammadhossain7336 I have worked with the IDF when I was in the US Army. Was very impressed with their efforts to minimize collateral damage to civilians. They make an effort. The hammys on the other hand. To them Collateral damage is the point of the effort.

@davidgetchell630 The United States Army. Fantastic example of 1942 in the Philippines. Douglas MacArthur had a choice to make. Occupy Manila and defend it causing untold thousands of casualties to both rhe invading Japanese army AND the citizens of Manila. Or declare Manila an Open City and move across the bay to the Bataan peninsula to save the Pearl of rhe Orient as it was then known. He decided that while he could do maximum damage to rhe Japanese in rhe city and possibly hold out until relief came. It would be the wrong decision for humanitarian grounds.. He gave the order to move rhe troops out of the open city. First world decision by a humanitarian leader. Sadly the Hammys do not belong in the first world.

@jojorice1705 Gee. I HAVE BEEN TO THE ministry of Defense in Israel. Don't remember a hospital there. I do remember it was walking distance from the beach. That was AWESOME.

@davidgetchell630 really? Well, the US Army as part of NATO and in Korea stages a yearly exercise where they evacuate Non combatants called a Non-combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO). The cornerstone of the NATO defense of Western Europe was to follow the Law of Land Warfare (lolw) and practice removing their citizens from the towns about to be fought in. Last time I was part of it was 2009 when I retired. Recent enough for you? So, just to summarize.. Western civilizations value human life. Third world nations and especially terrorists do not.

@mohammadhossain7336 I have worked with the IDF before on exercises. While few reserve formations are ever to the level of readiness of their active counterparts, the IDF does not do a bad job on that. The Isreali reserve units we encountered were older, used equipment in the late 90's we had retired in the 60s, and had less opportunity to regularly train. That we expected. But to a man they all seemed to be combat veterans to a point that we in the US Army in 1999 were not. Lebanon had absorbed much of the IDF back then. One thing that directly impressed me was their mission planners for air strikes had superior ability to shape their missions to reduce collateral damage. They could plan the mission to drop one building, and leave the building next to it virtually unharmed. All based on very complex parameters of flight path, angle of release, point of impact, and fusing. We learned much. In the current conflict I see evidence that they have maintained those skills and even gone a bit beyond where we had observed them. Problem is, and I have direct experience with this, when your own casualties are starting to mount and the bad guys are firing from a 5 story building- you don't have time to be so surgical. You drop the buildings on the bad guys.
