era of israel report:
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned that Israel risks becoming indistinguishable from Hamas if it continues to fail to protect civilians amid the Gaza conflict.
“What happened after October 7th could have ended quickly if Hamas had stopped hiding behind civilians, released the hostages, and laid down its weapons, but Israel No. Israel is a democracy. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Democracies place the highest value on human life, every human life. As the saying goes, he who saves a life saves the whole world. ,” Blinken said at a news conference in Brussels, quoting a Jewish proverb.
“That’s our strength. That’s what distinguishes us from terrorists like Hamas. When we lose respect for human life, we risk becoming indistinguishable from those we confront.”
Blinken offered no evidence that Israel is failing to protect civilians. Earlier this week, Israel killed 200 terrorists holed up in Shifa hospital, ending two weeks of fighting. There were zero civilian casualties.
The ratio of civilians to terrorists killed in Israeli counterattacks in Gaza is less than 2:1, a historic low.
Last month, West Point professor John Spencer I have written Israel has set a new standard in urban warfare. “[A]All available evidence shows that Israel follows the laws of war, legal obligations, and best practices for civilian harm reduction and has found ways to reduce civilian casualties to historic lows.” Spencer concluded.
