Another month, another rationality quotes thread. The rules are:
- Please post all quotes separately, so that they can be upvoted or downvoted separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)
- Do not quote yourself.
- Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, HPMoR, Eliezer Yudkowsky, or Robin Hanson. If you'd like to revive an old quote from one of those sources, please do so here.
- No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.
- Provide sufficient information (URL, title, date, page number, etc.) to enable a reader to find the place where you read the quote, or its original source if available. Do not quote with only a name.
You're killing far, far more civilians than your enemy does (unless of course you now declared said civilians the enemy as well). You can't say that about any allied nation in WW2.
The same as what you already do when they surround themselves with Israeli citizens.
Israeli citizens generally live in places that Israel has control over. Doing "the same" would mean Israel should take over Gaza; when Gaza is under its control, it would then be able to keep Hamas from surrounding themselves with Gazans. I'm fairly sure you would not actually recommend that.
