politicians need to choose their words better

Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said something today that very well might get Israel into some trouble internationally and hurt the, so far, silence and allowance of the world for the mission in Iran to continue..



Katz threatened, as you can see in the screenshot of his tweet above, that the residents of Iran will soon pay the price for their dictators decision to target civilians in Israel with ballistic missiles aimed at residential neighborhoods.

Understandably Katz has come under a lot of criticism for saying this. Not just from around the world but especially from Israelis. 

I think this might be another case of a bad choice of words but I dont think he meant we are going to target civilians. We dont even do that in Gaza and have no reason to do it in Iran where we know (or at least think) most residents are against the government. He probably means they will pay the price by loss of electricity, the economy collapsing from the oil fields being destroyed and the like.

Politicians really need to choose their words better to make their point. Shoot less from the hip.

    He could say anything and they'll twist it around. This statement clearly meant "We're going to wreck your country until the dictators surrender and you're the ones who'll suffer from them not giving up."
    But there's also an onus on the people of Iran now. the Republican Guard is crippled. The leadership is in hiding. If there's a time for an uprising, it's now. they need to get cracking.

    1. He could find a sock and put it into his blabber hole. Then there's no room for twisting.

  2. Trouble internationally? Oh no! What, they'll accuse us of genocide?

    Gimme a break. This is a war, not a game of beanbag.
