Undoubtedly there are a few people that can be argued to be innocent - but even then, civilian casualties are a product of war. Many civilians killed in all prior wars didn't support the war they died in.

Don't live in a warzone and/or evacuate your women and children if you can help it. Don't live around people that start wars is even more useful.

You can't establish a "peace" with a government that has sworn to wipe you out. The war will end once there's nothing for Hamas to fight over and the population is worn down to scraps and willing to do anything.

But here we come in to the rescue to "help" with relief supplies. Successfully rebuilt societies include Germany and Japan, which we occupied for more than a decade and helped rebuild, and are now very strong, stable allies.

You know what we didn't do? Deliver aid to beleaguered Germans and Japanese citizens. Neither did anyone else. If they had, it would've prolonged the war...
