"Horrifying" is the word du jour.

It is not only those that have no idea what we are talking about and are Israel haters who see the problem with a 250 to 1 body count staring them in their bloodied faces.

....................

"The Obama administration accused Israel on Thursday of failing to do all it can to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza during cross-border attacks.

Noting the deaths a day earlier of four boys who were killed on a Gaza beach by an Israeli strike, the State Department said the high civilian death toll in Gaza has been "heartbreaking." Three more children were killed in Gaza on Thursday."

...................


"Of the Gaza beach attacks that killed four cousins on Wednesday, Psaki called the attack "horrifying."

"The tragic event makes clear that Israel must take every possible step to meet its standards for protecting civilians from being killed," Psaki said. "We will continue to underscore that point to Israel."

"Asked whether the U.S. believes Israel has not done enough to prevent civilian casualties, Psaki said: "We believe that certainly there's more that can be done.""

Like knocking off the ludicrous knocking on roofs with explosives followed by blowing up the residential dwelling with more explosives...a war crime by definition.

And knocking off the human shield ploy, as if Palestinian women do not value the lives of themselves or their children, that is dehumanization and it is evil.

2. And an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind, at a ratio of 250 to 1 for the good guys.

4. Unintentional killing versus intentional killing is winning out by a factor of 250 to 1. At some

point the math is irrefutable, the pile of bodies all on one side raises quite a stink.

At some point the propaganda justifications get stinky also.
250 to 1 is way beyond that point.

5. Some have a hard time understanding the words, indiscriminate killing..either by intent

or ignorance. Hard to measure.

7. "Horrifying" also applies to cost/benefit analysis you advocate....using human lives as pawns.

Calling it a score proves my point, I think. It is not a score, it is fact translated to math.
