UC Santa Barbara Students Set up Camp to Peacefully Protest the War in Gaza
No, ALEX, what is ridiculous is that you still honestly believe it's a "total lie" that urban warfare hasn't changed since WWII to allow for less civilian casualties. Unless you can prove me wrong, I think we're done here on this topic. Technology has advanced. Precision weapons have advanced. Intelligence has advance. Civilian deaths have decreased. There's really nothing more I can say.

Both articles are extremely general assessments of the overall evolution of war fighting. However, neither article speaks to the use of technology in close quarters urban warfare, which is what we are talking about. You cherry picking one sentence without full context which requires a far more complex analysis is ridiculous. Yes, collateral damage overall in gulf war 2 was reduced through targeted smart munitions, however, that was not the case in an urban warfare close combat setting. Again, look at the battle for Mosul. Or are you saying that the US military made a decision to reduce civilian casualties in some areas by using technology and decided not to use technology to reduce civilian casualties in other areas. No, urban warfare is its own animal, particularly against a guerrilla force which is embedded into and uses civilians as cover. Again, you said “we have the tech to achieve results without butchering and burning civilians.” No, not in urban war fighting. If you are talking about aerial combat, naval warfare, or even ground warfare in an open area where you can engage an enemy clearly and without the presence of civilians, sure. But, guerrilla fighters such as Hamas can not engage militarily in that fashion, or they won't survive. They must operate within chaotic environment filled with potential civilian casualties to blunt their lack of force parity.

ANON - why does it matter? Also, did you forget about the part where Israel won't let them leave unless they hold foreign visas or passports?

ANON - "most of the protestors at the campuses aren’t students," - Can you provide a source for that untrue claim?

A "total lie" that "there is technology which has changed urban warfare (since WWII) and makes it possible to spare civilians???" Seriously? A "total lie?" How to prove that technology has advanced and allowed for less collateral damage.... Hmmmm..... "This new war was fought with precision weapons with minimal collateral damage and with vastly improved means of real-time information, surveillance and target acquisition. " https://ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/olj/sa/sa_99anv02.html https://academic.oup.com/ia/article/95/4/765/5513164 I mean seriously, how can you honestly believe there has been no technology since WWII that has made collateral damage less. Seriously, what a weirdly insane thing to demand proof of.

You need to be honest about the fact that the neighboring states believe that the Palestinians are a threat to their internal stability. So, yes, the public stance is that Gazans should not leave the area, and but he way I agree with that, however the reality of the agenda is more complex. When Jordan killed 25,000 members of the PLO and then transferred their population to Lebanon the PLO became a prime reason for the ensuing Lebanese Civil War. Egypt backed the PLO against King Hussein, on, and on, and on.

I understand that point and I agree with it.

And of course you have provided zero evidence for your claim that there is technology which has changed urban warfare and makes it possible to spare civilians. It's a total lie.

Sac, I have never proclaimed any bias against the innocent civilians of Gaza, nor do I feel that. Never.

Why is it that there's not one other country in the world that will except the Palestinians into their arms?

I'm not sure about UCSB but most of the protestors at the campuses aren't students, need to open your eyes or take your binders off or maybe you've got a blind stick .Calling me a liar, everybody's entitled to their opinion. Your the biggest liar/ problem with this country what's wrong with the world its because of people like you in it

General Armchair is watching too many James Bond movies. You don’t just find out who the target is, and then send in a kill team. It’s not like Hollywood makes it out to be and Alex is 100% right that combat has not changed much. It’s like the “we don’t do trenches anymore” while Russia and Ukraine are using it plenty and so did we in the Middle East.

That has nothing to do with the reason for the 2A.

I'm a Jew and I support the students. Many of the students in protests across the country are Jewish. Virtually every expert on genocide says that what is happening in Gaza is genocide.
