Are you actually able to read? What am I ‘hemming and hawing’ about? I’ve not supported either side, I’ve not tried to justify either side, as you appear to be doing so. I’ve just said that Hamas should of expected Israel to retaliate in some way when they were planning their initial attack. I don’t understand why you refuse, or can’t work out how. to acknowledge that basic concept.
A couple walking down the road holding guns. A criminal jumps out and shoots one. Remaining person from the couple then shoots the criminal dead. Neither are ‘in the right’ and at no point have I said anyone is, as they’ve both shot someone. You seem to blind to the self evident fact that the criminal should of expected to get shot at in return. Understanding rational logic isn’t spineless. Being unwilling or unable to acknowledge and accept A +B =C and that ‘committing the initial terrorist was a bad thing to the point that you just insult people is a MUCH better example of being spineless and proof that you know your argument is either way of the mark or utterly indefensible.
