(17,757 posts)in Gaza that you are a Hamas supporter; it is not a rational argument. I assure you that I am not a supporter of Hamas or any other terrorist organization. Israel has the moral and legal obligation to hunt down and destroy Hamas, but not to make war on the civilian population of Gaza. If your neighbor kills your wife and child does that give you a right to kill everyone in the neighborhood to assure that you got the right person?
The anti-Semite accusers search for rationalization in WWII bombings, or other cases of genocide, past or present; I am somewhat surprised that the Inquisition has not been mentioned... yet. There is no rational political or military solution that requires the deaths of 10,000 children. To defend unrestricted warfare against the civilians is heartless. Israel's actions will end up with them "winning" Gaza, but losing any hope of peace in the foreseeable future; it may well be a Pyrrhic victory.
