    Interesting that you keep saying ‘civilian death’ and not ‘child.’ Seems like we’re talking about two very different things.

    I’ve never met anyone who is willing to accept “any amount”.

    Then see the person who replied to me who says it’s worth killing any amount to get rid of Hamas.

      Maybe so. But personally, I believe that all civilian deaths are equally tragic whether of a child, an old man, or a mother. In fact, I would object if someone said “X dead women is acceptable, but X dead children is unacceptable”, because personally I believe that whatever X you choose should be age-independent. YMMV
