    Israel could do what Hamas would do if they had the capability and that is indiscriminately murder every single person on the other side of the border. Israel never had to enter Gaza in the first place. They could have just bombed down every single building there and flatten the whole territory and snipe every survivor with drones and not lose a single Israeli fighter. They didn’t.

      They’re well on there way to do just that having leveled about a third of all the buildings in Gaza with no signs of stopping the bombing.

      Israel has killed over twenty two thousand Gazans. That’s roughly 1% of the population. The vast majority of the survivors have been displaced from their homes.

      Face the reality, this is exactly what indiscriminate murder and genocide looks like. If you choose to believe otherwise you’re just willfully lying to yourself.

        I’m simply asking what the preferred alterative would’ve been but nobody seems to be interested in answering. At no point have I said that what they’re currently doing is optimal as it quite clearly isn’t.
