CNN: "Incredibly tragic for innocents on the ground."

The man has so much more patience and cool than I could ever muster.

"So, with that, lieutenant colonel we will take you at your word, 'There is no safe place in Gaza.' Understood."

"That's not exactly what I said, but thank you."

Logically, if you tell the innocent about a specific “safe place” that they can freely get to, then the bad guys would just go to that “safe place” along with the innocent. If your priority is to kill the bad guys, then there will indeed be “no safe place” — or you move the “safe place” around so fast that the bad guys cannot move fast enough to the next “safe place,” but then the innocent also cannot move that fast. (Same reasoning I outlined for LuFin about giving civilians “advanced warning” before an aerial bombing campaign.) :man-shrugging:

In practice (so far), all the warnings seem to be in the form of “leave this area” (indicating unsafe place) rather than “go to that area” (indicating safe place). If there is a “safe place,” it hasn’t been publicly disclosed.

I've seen, perhaps, half a dozen of his updates from the IDF. It's fun to watch him respond to questions about what's going on in Gaza, while confidently and consistently saying, "We didn't start this war. We didn't want this war."

Western civilization teeters on the precipice and the progressive women are backing up to it and pushing with all their compassion. At least they'll die knowing they were on the right side of history. I guess that was always the goal.
