The development, by several countries, and the use of technology to isolate targets and minimize collateral damage and casualties is widely used by the U.S. and our allies and has been for years. Our level of consciousness is not shared by all nations or terrorists. They aren't interested and would be insulted by the suggestion of Americans teaching them to update their approach and mentality.

This reminds me of Todd Beamer on Flight 93 on 9/11, “Let’s Roll”.
This young man was bartending at the music festival. He called his dad to say he was going to try to fight off the militants. Three hours later his family received a call that he was killed. His family learns his final moments were filled with saving lives.

A planeload of World Health Organization supplies lands at Egypt’s el-Arish airport and is destined for Gaza when humanitarian access across the border is possible, the UN says.
The cache includes enough basic essentials for 300,000 people and enough trauma medicines and materials for 1,200 wounded, the UN says in a release. It calls for opening the Rafah border crossing immediately to humanitarian deliveries.
“The critically injured, the sick and the vulnerable cannot wait,” the world body says.

According to the president’s office, Biden reiterates “the need for all countries to unequivocally condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization that does not represent the aspirations of the Palestinian people.”
Biden and Netanyahu have spoken five times since the war began last Saturday with Hamas’s vicious attack on Israel.
Biden tells PM the US is working with Egypt, Jordan, UN on aiding civilians
In his conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier today, US President Joe Biden says the US is working “with the United Nations, Egypt, Jordan, Israel and others” in order to ensure civilians have “access to water, food and medical care.”According to the president’s office, Biden reiterates “the need for all countries to unequivocally condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization that does not represent the aspirations of the Palestinian people.”

What a load of Bull. There were at least 260 dead civilians at the Music Festival grounds. There is no way that those young people were mistakenly slaughtered. That was all out murder----they were chased down and murdered, while others were taken hostage, to probably be murdered later.
Exactly---desperate and easily disproved rhetoric.
Really? Those elderly people killed at the bus stops? And those babies killed in their cribs:? And all of the families who died in house fires set by the invaders?
Oh no, they can't be serious. Anyone who has seen the videos KNOW that it was obviously a public music festival, full of young people partying, not soldiers 'resting.' Such bold faced lies being told.

Yes!! You read my mind!
CNN had Wolf Blitzer on a call with Egypt's Foreign Minister.
He claims the Egypt side of the Rafah border is open, but it is the "Israeli" side that is closed because of bombing. Curiously, he stated that the border will open when HAMAS releases the hostages.
That, of course, would be ideal, but it doesn't really address the relief aid that is currently in eastern Egypt and being flown in to the local airport, waiting to be transported in, regardless of whether people can exit Gaza into Egypt. The foreign minister did not address how this was going to happen.
This report from Reuter's 5 hours ago states that there have been 5 planes with relief supplies landed in Al Arish airport
"Al Arish airport
Two aid flights, including one from Turkey, have landed at Sinai's Al Arish airport, about 45 km (28 miles) from the Gaza border, bringing the total number of planes that have arrived this week carrying humanitarian relief for Gaza to at least five, the Red Cross official and the aid volunteer said"

I don't know if Qatar could be called "neutral" but it is important to realize Qatar has a large US military base there and was instrumental in prior peace talks during conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians.
US Secretary of State Blinken was just there talking to Qatari leaders to get their assistance in making progress on hostage releases.
BBM. Leaders have made it clear they will not address how or when anything is going to happen. They don't want to alert the terrorists of their plans.
