MilitaryConscience

Admittedly, this subject has been "off my radar" a bit but I did hear a NPR show the other day wherein both the hosts took each side of the issue. To make a long story short, one of the host's main argument was about "intent"; claiming that while, "Yes, the Israelis did inflict a number of civilian casualties, those casualties were accidental while in pursuit of military targets (I forgot the term that's often used. Collateral damage? )." He also countered that the Palestinian's civilian casualty rate was based on their intent to actually inflict harm on civilians. Like I said, this is not my opinion but just kind of a paraphrase of what was said.
