FT: How Israel Is Attacking Hamas's Vast Tunnel Network

[peggysue2]

7. There are no easy or even good options in this conflict

I agree, wholeheartedly--Hamas is the enemy and needs to be destroyed, and then replaced by a government that works for the people and for peaceful co-existence.

That goes for both countries once the war is over.

Anyway you go, you're going to have civilian casualties bc of the dense population and the fact these tunnels are a complicated spiderweb running beneath the feet of the Palestinians.

The choices are from bad to worse, so choosing the least bad is the only option Israel has.

Hamas has made its objective very clear, the annihilation of Israel and her people. No other nation in the world would ignore that threat. And yes, unless the current threat is addressed and eliminated, the attacks and bloodshed will repeat, again and again.
