(3,396 posts)I dont think many or any people approve of either tactics.
But unfortunately I think many people understand that when Hamas did what they did, they did something so incredibly stupid that it is completely unsurprising that IDF responded the way they did. Albeit, it doesnt sit well but, if I kick a hornets nest I dont like that the hornets are going to sting me and everyone else around me but I am not surprised that it is going to happen.
Somebody fucked around and unfortunately far too many people are paying for that. Israel is a country that has been existing with the threat of people using words like annihilation, genocide, wipe off the face of the planet for their entire existence. They have live with threats from their neighbors forever. So when a group who declares that it is their intent to destroy them, invades them and commits horrible acts. Well did anyone expect a tit for tat response?
Israel is unfortunately making a bigger statement that to just Hamas. They are telling all of those around them that if you fuck with them they will respond harshly and without any mercy. I dont like it. But I am not surprised by it one bit.
