Hebrew term or phrase: שפיכת התינוק עם המים
משהו אולי יודע מה פירוש הפתגם ואיך אומרים באנגלית?

לדוגמה:

1. הדרך להגעה לפתרון כאמור הינה ארוכה ותלויה כמובן בנסיבותיו של מקרה אולם טוב יקפידו הצדדים באם יימנעו "משפיכת התינוק עם המים" ע"י גרימת נזק לחברה

2. לכן הקריאה למניעת הפצת כל העלונים היא בבחינת "שפיכת התינוק עם המים".

3. ולבסוף אשפר לשאול מהו בעצם התוקף של תהליכי שיתוף מעין אלו והאם העדרם באמת מצדיק את "שפיכת התינוק עם המים".

תודה רבה!
