Creo que es la primera vez que estoy en desacuerdo con una columna de Peter Singer. Es una lástima que el origen -el sentido de pertenencia- nuble la visión de tantos, incluso de los más brillantes. Israel has taken some steps to minimize civilian casualties by warning Palestinians to evacuate areas that were about to be targeted. Hamas, by contrast, has shown no interest in avoiding civilian casualties, either in Israel or in Gaza. The whole point of firing rockets at Israeli cities is to inflict civilian casualties, and the fact that the rockets have largely failed to do so is due to their inaccuracy, Israel’s “Iron Dome” missile-defense system, and perhaps some good luck. Hamas’s strategy of launching rockets from residential areas and storing them in schools clearly reflects its leaders’ willingness to put Palestinian civilians in harm’s way in order to confront Israel with the grim choice of killing civilians or allowing the rocket attacks to continue.
