Yes. They were in danger. And it’s okay to defend your life. I have a friend who almost shot a child in this very situation when they were serving. To this day, he has PTSD and counciling for the trauma. NOBODY wants to shoot a kid or anyone else for that matter unless they’re seriously sick.
Fortunately, many failed and efforts to combat that recruitment helped.
Gaza is like if that effort had succeeded and geared up for years and years. Where 57% of the civilians support what you’re doing and are sympathetic.
It’s a good comparison. I just don’t agree that people, even Israelis, should have to lay down their lives because Al Quesa or Hamas radicalizes illegal combatants.
The rest of your accusations, I’ll leave unaddressed. They don’t warrant a response.
