Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

Because PR is important for international support. There might not be any way to look "good," but you can try to avoid looking "bad."

Everyone knows Hamas is using the Palestinians as human shields, but that doesn't mean you should just say "F' it" and have the attitude that you're going to kill everyone in Hamas regardless of how many civilians get killed in the process.

We are 3 weeks from the initial images of the terror attacks inflicted on them, and we are already hearing calls for a ceasefire by some of the International Community.

They know the clock is ticking.

I said earlier I don’t agree with everything they do and how they are going about it. I’d prefer more Spec Ops incursions to hit HVTs. And less big arse heavies being dropped.

I understand the urgency and tactics. And I can differentiate between the terrorist coward aggressors and an Army that knows more is coming and they don’t have time to wait for permission or public blessings. They are hitting hard and fast before the people paying the bills pull back the reins.
