"Hamas has designed a war that Israel can only fight by killing civilians" (distinguished philosopher of the morality of war)

 Michael Walzer, the distinguished philosopher of the morality of war, calls an “asymmetry trap” laid by Hamas. Walzer explained that, by embedding itself and its equipment in the civilian infrastructure of Gaza – tunnels under hospitals, rocket launchers in schools – “Hamas has designed a war that Israel can only fight by killing civilians”. Besides, Israel gave regular warnings to Palestinians to get out of harm’s way, hardly the action of a state bent on genocide.
