(27,779 posts)11. I guess it bears repeating. What Hamas did is unforgivable. But it does not give Israel license to bomb the civilian
Palestinian population, killing hundreds of women and children, as well as men who have nothing to do with Hamas. If they do, it puts them on the same level as Hamas. The fact that those who drop bombs or fire missiles do not see their victims does not absolve them of the crime. The Israeli army must fight a ground battle hand to hand if necessary, incurring huge losses if they wish to eliminate Hamas and claim moral superiority. Unfortunately, there are those in the Netanyahu government who have publicly proclaimed their support for genocide. If more room for settlements (lebensraum) and avoid a two-state solution is the goal, then this is the way to do it.

What you should do is invade with an army and fight Hamas face-to-face and hand-to-hand to avoid civilian casualties.

OK, now I'm concerned. Or maybe amused. I mean, this sounds like a joke, and it's pretty funny.
