    Are 2000 pounder JDAM dropped on gazan civilian buildings more moral than a cluster bomb?

        Excuse me, the preferred nomenclature is “hamas bunkers” and I’ll report you to the ADL if you continue with your antisemitism.

        Most unnecessary /s ever.

      The moral calculus of bombs is a truly fucked up thing.

      If the JDAM is driving a single conventional warhead, it is more ethical than a cluster bomb.

      It is common for some of the cluster bomblets to not detonate creating unknown minefields that persist for decades. A single bomb only goes off once.

      (This is the ethics of the bomb, not the conflict they’re used in)

      It depends on who sold it to them. If it was one president, centrists love it. If it’s another president, they still love it but have to pretend they don’t so they can blame people to their left.
