The Dahiya Doctrine

[Anonymous]

It is a very popular strategy among the Israelis (well, not the Israeli Arabs perhaps):

I wonder if they have any idea how this has radically changed how Israel is viewed in so many quarters of the world. Imagine going somewhere with an Israeli passport in the future and just seeing the customs and immigration officers look at you with such disgust.

Whether the strategy is new is not really the point. We are constantly told that Israel uses pin point strikes carefully aimed at military targets and any civilian casualties are a result of Hamas using human shields. The Dahiya Doctrine suggests that civilian casualties are not a bug but a feature.

Jeff, thank you for trying to educate people on here. Can you verify the dead in Beruit as a result of thsi strategy. Seems I remember 30,000 Lebanese civillians killed by the Iraeli bombing of Beruit. Is that correct ? Also, how do you post photos on here ? I dont get it from the instructions. Can you add a photo icon like gmail has for inserting a photo.

The photo has to be online then you just add it as " [ IMG ] link [ / IMG ]

Maybe the people of Gaza should be given homes in Jerusalem. Its the closest city now, right.
