But if you stand a Hamas Terrorist and an IDF soldier and ask me who in this round of the 2000yr conflict holds the moral high ground. It is without question the IDF soldier.

Hamas are a pure evil terrorist jihadi death cult, that take pleasure in killing and torturing and who have no regard for the value of human life whatsoever, especially their own.

and you can say there is no difference to killing a baby by decapitating it with a machete or by an airstrike. The result is the same....a dead baby. But I reject those kind of arguments 100% There is no moral equivalence between the actions of Hamas and the IDF.
Spot on, Pierre. Civilians become casualties in any war, Be it Ukraine, Syria, Yemen or Palestine. The complication in some wars such as in Palestine, is that the fighters are embedded within the population, and in this case, are quite blatantly, and by design, holding them as human shields.

In other wars, such as Ukraine, the likes of the aggressor (Russia in this case) deliberately aim their rockets at civilian targets such as schools and hospitals where they know the most civilians would be killed in one go. We don’t see so much hand-wringing there, do we?

War is horrible and bloody. We should always try to find a solution to avoid it. However in this case, we have one party who has actually started a war to avoid peace talks. Hamas is ruthless and bloody, and I am afraid Israel is doing all it can now to eliminate this festering sore.
