It really undermines solving the problem.
Israeli military has the tools to root out the individuals responsible, and I really wish they would turn to those tools instead of indiscriminate bombing.
Gaza is little more than a modern-day ghetto for the Palestinians Israel cannot murder without the world’s cameras telling us about it… where are these “uninvolved civilians” you speak of?
