You cannot sell 'liberation' with explosions and expect applause forever. Reports from Feb. 28 described leadership targets and missile sites, and then, almost immediately, reports of civilians harmed that are still being investigated. That is the moment legitimacy leaks away, because the world sees grief before it sees strategy. Every retaliatory strike multiplies the suffering and turns ordinary families into symbols for someone else's argument. I understand fear of missiles, but fear does not excuse carelessness or propaganda. If leaders truly care about peace, they should pause, open channels, and stop treating human lives as collateral in a messaging war.
