    So it’s better these children die than the soldiers killing them put their lives at risk?

      From an outside perspective of course it isn’t but when you are a part of the military and you have the responsibility over your comrades lives you will do anything to protect them including killing people who you don’t know

        Anything? Like punishing soldiers who kill innocent civilians including children and journalists during times of relative “peace”? Because that would surely have gone a long way to reducing the deaths of your “comrades”. Instead we have an Israeli sniper kill journalists and then the government says “they were armed with a camera”.

        No. They are not doing everything they can to protect their soldiers. They are not seeking peace. They are seeking silence and subjugation.
