Yes I worry about that. But Israel is giving warnings ahead of their actions - insufficient, maybe, but a world apart from what they suffered.

I found the most ethical understanding in this piece in the NYT, by an Israeli officer, and in the comments that followed.

We will have to agree to disagree. I’m still finding my way through all this, but I still maintain there’s a difference in the level of depravity.

Thanks for the link. It speaks what many feel. May the thought become the voice of the people.

They can have the water back if they release the hostages. Hamas prefers torturing their hostages than giving their babies water.

But Israel doesn’t want to relish in watching it. Hamas does. We are splitting hairs here, but I will maintain there’s a difference. I’d prefer to spend time with the Israelis, by far, if forced to choose. But then, I’m female. Hamas hates women, just because.
