Reply #53: collective punishment?...its standard

[pelsar]

will you stop with the "Thank you for your implied admission" crap...just ask. Of course Israel is guilty of collective punishment...so too is the whole world. BDS? if they succeed it will hurt little 3 yr old moshe once the factory that his single mom works in gets closed, whats he going to eat?

i've been reading where unions want to boycott stores, industries that donated to walkers election campaign....sure, cause those stores to close, so that little 3yr old sammy is tossed out of his house because his parents can't pay the mortgage.

what do you think sanctions are on iran if not collective punishment?

a bomb that has "collateral damage" which is inevitable of a bomb is punishing the civilians in the area one way or another..

war by definition is immoral....the question that armys face in the western world is how to balance the collective punishment with achieving the objective and protecting their own troops.
