I think that the statement by the head of the military that Israel is acting without any restraints is incompatible with the idea that Israel believes it is demonstrating restraint.

My point is to make it clear that it was obviously a rhetorical speech rather than some ongoing military policy during the war. You know perfectly well what I meant by restraint.

After 9/11, the united states president at least tried to say "hey not all muslims, alright?"

Not to mention these guys would have heard of the absolute cruel and unusual torture directed at the female civilians before the rest of the world.
