As long as the press and world leaders fail to ask these questions, continuing to push unsubstantiated casualty figures, they are empowering Hamas.

      How exactly do you fight a terrorist organization who uses children as both soldiers and human shields without any sort of civilian casualties?

      Probably with more nuance than bombing entire neighborhoods…

      Seriously, there is absolutely no possible ethical excuse for what Israel is doing. Right now the IDF is pretty indistinguishable from the SS. Genocide is genocide and Israel has come all the way from victim to perpetrator. The irony and reality of it is making the rest of the world sick, the only question is, why isn’t it doing the same to the people of Israel?

          See the problem is, you don’t know how to do it without injuring civilians,

          Fucking diplomacy.

          Israel is being like a five year old… Learn to use your words, you’ll get better outcomes.

          Let’s say you wiped out all the Palestinians. Do you believe that results in peace? Do you remember what motivated Osama Bin Laden? Do you think the rest of the Arab world would be at peace with Israel?

              That’s a very one sided view of history. If you can’t see that occupied people have legitimate grievances then there’s just no point in talking.

              Plenty of situations that “could never change” actually did. The past is filled with impossible situations consigned to the dustbin of history.
