Israeli and foreign human rights groups have documented a long history of snipers firing on unarmed Palestinians, including children, in Gaza and the West Bank.
Palestinians in Gaza also report a terrifying new development in the latest Gaza war – armed drones able to hover over streets and pick off individuals. Called quadcopters, some of these drones are used as remote-control snipers that Palestinians say have been used to shoot civilians.
And the IDF rank and file. And a whole lot of Israeli civilians.
Indeed. War gets people killed, indiscriminately. Only madmen too out of touch with reality refuse to consider peace.
Both sides of this conflict have some of the worst of humanity in positions where they get to decide over such things. And as a result the situation has become an absolute meat grinder of the innocent.
I don’t even pretend to know a way to sort it out. Except that not adding more blades to the grinder might be a good start.
