    So booby trapping military equipment is bad because civilians might get caught in it, but firing rockets at civilians is a-ok?

          You must live in Israel, where the media censors all the other, outgoing airstrikes. Which are much greater in quantity and effect.

              Would you like to give us a ballpark estimate of the number of civilians bombed by Israel and Hamas recently?

                Israel has the iron dome, it’s not for lack of trying.

                A man shoots at his wife and misses. Should that man go to jail?

                  If a man shoots at his wife and misses, they should drop a 1000 pound bomb on his house with him and his wife and kids inside, his neighbors’ houses blown up as well, his office building hit with napalm, his cousins detained for questioning, and his accountant shot. Agreed?

                    No, just him. Like how Israel sabotaged military equipment. And unlike how Hamas and Hezbollah target civilians.

                  Israel has the iron dome, it’s not for lack of trying.

                  Iron Dome has intercepted some 5000 rockets in the past decade. With each of those 5000 rockets assumed to be a civilian casualty (which, considering the casualty rates of Hamas rocket attacks per-rocket, you will agree is VERY generous, I’m sure), would you like to give us a ballpark estimate for the civilian deaths caused by Israel and Hamas?

                    A rocket can kill way more than one person.

                    Are you saying that if a man shoots at his wife and misses, he should get off scot free?
