Israel Takes Responsibility. Who Else Does? All war is hell. Not all who wage it admit their mistakes
WSJ ^ | 2 Apr 2024

On Tuesday a news alert from the Journal said, "Israel has taken responsibility for a strike that has killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu said it was unintentional."

War is hell. Everyone knows that. Accidents are bound to happen, and when they do, political spinmeisters step forward to deny, deflect, delay and distract. Not here. Israel has taken responsibility. What a contrast with its adversary. The only thing Hamas takes responsibility for is doing what it loves: spreading terror and delivering death. It doesn't take responsibility for the human calamity it has unleashed on its people.

No. Hamas pushes all responsibility for the suffering of Gazans onto Israel, onto Jews and Americans. Hamas is always innocent, when, in fact, it killed 1,200 people in a single day. Israel is engaged now, as always, in a fight for survival. Often lied about, Israel nevertheless nevertheless respects the rules of war. It fights with precision and restrains its soldiers to protect the innocent. It provides food and aid to its enemy. It owns up to its mistakes.

Israel made a mistake because Hamas succeeded in its strategy to make it nearly impossible to distinguish Hamas fighters from noncombatants. Who is it that used hospitals for terrorist headquarters? How many supposed humanitarian aid agencies assisted the Hamas terrorists and participated in Hamas’s war crimes?

Are some of those aid groups smuggling Hamas leaders, or being carjacked by them?

This is why war is so detestable to everyone except terrorists. Mistakes happen. Clinton Blew up an aspiron factory killing a night watchman. It happens.

IMO, the whole attack from Hamas initially was a set up...allowed....it was allowed to happen....atrocities happened that they allowed.....

now Israel is bull dozing Gaza....

it all stinks to high heaven....

if they decide to build a new canal, then we'll know for sure..

Additionally, remember when Joe Biden okayed the drone attack on a supposed ISIS-K bomber after the Abbay Gate attack? He turned out to be an innocent man with 7 kids and all were killed
Who did Joe blame? It wasn’t himself.
