I'd contend that it often also benefits the people being attacked by the war, unless you think it would have been reasonable to let the Nazis roll across all of Europe unopposed

this. this. a thousand times this. also applies to arab muslim terrorists who seek to rape, behead, burn and slaughter jews at will, but the "nazis are bad, "palestinian" hamas are poor poor cinnamon rolls that need to be allowed to hide under hospitals" haven't quite made the connection yet

That's because there is no connection.

Being against Israel's indiscriminate killing of civilians doesn't make Hamas terrorists the good guys. They are still despicable terrorists. It simply acknowledges that you don't remove a terrorist group by a military operation unless you plan to kill the whole population. Which -given comments from Israel officials- they know very will and proceed none-the-less.

You would really think people finally got that after the last "we are are fighting terrorists"-shitshow of more than two decades and its impressive results.
