Maybe, but then again Hamas is using civilians as a human shield.
And since this is a topic about presidential elections, we need to be reminded that Trump would be much worse since he cut off funding for Palestine, he declared the Golan Heights for Israel. He helped move the capital and embassy, he encouraged the settlements, his ambassador wanted to annex the West Bank. He had a Muslim ban and he has since said he’d deport Muslims. Trump also sacrificed the Kurds in Syria because Putin told him to.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
