The video below explains the lengths Israel takes to limit civilian casualties in the war Hamas started.
There are many measures Israel takes that are not even mentioned in the video. Israel has developed laser guided munitions that fire out of artillery and mortars. Drones with laser targeting systems guide the munitions with incredible accuracy.
PoliticalArena readers may have noticed that neither Russia or Ukraine or even the United States takes such measures, yet it is Israel who gets condemned. Racism and emotional determinations caused by hate and envy always generate such contradictions.
Are the measures Israel takes warranted? We ask that question because legitimate polling we have seen from Palestinian and Arab sources shows that Hamas enjoys robust popular support.
Available polling from the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion shows strong support for Hamas’ terror tactics such as the use of indiscriminate rocket attacks against Israel. One poll shows 88.9% of Palestinians support for terror rockets and another showing 57.9% support.
Polling also verifies that a robust majority of Palestinians have no interest in a two-state solution with only 37.7 % support.
Other polling has shown that if Hamas were to run for election in the West Bank areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority, Hamas would likely win.
In order for there to be a lasting peace there must be a complete and unconditional surrender by Palestinian forces.
