Gadol, my sense of evil is that which is against the will of Hashem as expressed in dvar Hashem zu halacha; war isn’t pretty, it’s horrific. People die misos meshunos. Targeting non combatants is also not allowed, but if in the course of war there are civilian casualties… that’s the way of the world. halacha does not demand goyjm to be kumbaya peaceful hippies; they’re entitled to build empires and increase their economies as a result. Just because America decided a few years ago (after engaging in this behavior in its founding and subsequently for centuries) that conquest is assur and evil and whatnot, doesn’t make it so.
Zionists claim this when they say that they’re entitled to gaza and the west bank -“in a war, you win and lose, you’re conquered and you conquer” – why is it ok for Zionists to say this but not Russians?
