Replying to 5884dc9c...

James is a smart man and Grahm left his reason behind and got roiled up. Perfect show of how a calm bad position can beat a frazzled good one.

Could you please explain, if you have time, the good position and bad one, because from what I understood from the conversation, one we answering one question with something that was not asked. It’s like me asking:

“Do you agree with the murder of innocent children?”

Answer:

“If Hamas surrender they wouldn’t die”

That’s not answering my question. Of course they wouldn’t die if they weren’t there, but as they are there, and innocent civilians are dying in large numbers, do you agree in the way they are being killed?

Your feedback would be great

i will reply later but briefly your example is a good one of avoiding the question . but the question that was asked in the interview was not simple like that question .

i think the main question is ***how many civilian casualties are acceptable ?***

ideally zero

ideally there is no war and the invaders turn around and go home

but there is a war and there are civilians in the crossfire

so how many is it okay to kill ?

by what metric do we measure the effort in avoiding noncomb casualties say "you didn't try enough" or "you tried enough" ?

Fair point. However, I will push back a bit here. We are not referring to clashes between fighters with random bullets flying here and there and people getting caught in the crossfire, or like a police shootout where innocent civilians get hit by stray bullets. We are talking about sending down bombs from the sky to hit targets where you know 100% that innocent civilians WILL DIE, not accidentally, but they ARE THERE, just to ‘potentially’ get a ‘bad guy’. The target may not be there but innocent civilians ARE definitely there.

So I’m not naive to think that civilians will never get flung into these situations, but we are talking about deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure to ‘potentially’ get a target. And I have not even brought up the reality that nobody is talking about, which is ‘how does one even know where these ‘enemy targets’ are?’ They aren’t even on the surface? And that’s not even talking about the many non-violent solutions one could take before the above.

Now in good faith, have I been reasonable above?

You are somewhat reasonable but you don't write like someone who understands war or maybe even violence. i am going to guess that you don't know how to fight with your hands. Is that right?

You might appreciate S2 underground on telegram NOV04 and OCT31. He asks "How did israel intelligence fail to detect buildup of hamas invasion force, but then suddenly has exact gps coordinates for missle strikes?

He is active US army intelligence so yes "people" are talking about it, the world is a big place

Errm, im a bit thrown of by your response here…not sure how it’s related or what you’re pointing me to?

I have learnt (but it mastered) two different forms of combative martial arts (judo and win chun) but not sure how it’s relevant to the war in Gaza. Feel free to clarify if you feel it adds value to the conversation
