the number of times I see liberals in the news pigeonholed into the position of "they need to aim better" is enraging. the core premises that israel should be bombing gaza or that they're even trying to avoid civilian casualties cannot be questioned. they just need better intelligence! smarter bombs!

Explosions are famous for aiming.

It is a common refrain when it comes to selling weapons to militaries that bomb civilians. We have to furnish the Saudis with precision bombs so that their bombings of civilians will be more accurate, this way we are actually helping the people they’re bombing.

"Collateral damage" is regrettable, but also unavoidable. Thoughts and prayers, and all that.

Wait, you say it's the resistance fighters who are killed rarely and by chance? LOL surely you must be mistaken. This is just Russian Propaganda™. Please return-to-sender it to Putin next time you do a personal visit with him in the Kremlin.

I think they're hitting exactly the targets the want to hit. Their aim is extremely good if not perfect.

Israel wants to kill civilians.
