    Is there any time of day it’s not atrocious? Seems like any time would have basically equal risk for collateral casualties.

    To be effective it all had to be at once. It seems that they waited until the pagers were being used to coordinate a fresh wave of rocket attacks with promises of more to come before setting them off.

      Because that time of day is when the most people will be out in public. It seems deliberately designed to cause as much damage as widely as possible. Likely to cause fear in the population.

        They put explosives in the pagers but no shrapnel, so how does your conclusion make sense? If Israel wanted to simply cause mass damage, this would be a most incompetent way to do it.

          They wanted to cause fear, which is terrorism.

      Then maybe it shouldn’t be done at all.

        Maybe all an army has to do to take over the entire world is bring their families to the front. Can’t shoot back at them because their families are there. So they pretty much win every engagement. Problem solved. No more wars.

          And you are saying noone is allowed to fight on their own land, as it endangers the public.

            I wasn’t trying to say that at all. Wars are fought where they are fought. It’s up to whoever is in charge of the area to make sure they are evacuated.

            The people in charge of the area in Gaza (Hamas) do the opposite, that’s why they are designated as a terrorist organization and not legitimate government, such as the taliban in Afghanistan.

            An illegitimate, criminal organization, that so willfully disregard the public welfare and trust, has no right to fight anywhere.

            Let’s dispel the bullshit idea that Hamas is fighting for the lives and rights of the Gazan people. If Hamas wants to have a state so bad, they should start by looking out for the interests of their own people instead of constantly leading them into worse suffering. Taking part in international terrorism and killing Jews is more important to the leadership of Gaza then is feeding their people and until it’s not Gaza is irredenta.

              Where would the people evacuate to? Why is it always assumed thats a valid option?

              I’m not condoning violence but all of these better options people listed have been tried over and over, and Palestinians were dieing long before October 7th.

              Look up how many palestinian children the IDF killed in 2023 prior to the attack.

              Tell me what’s the right answer when another group of people controls your life and kills your family members.

              Israel has been just as if not more violent than Hamas, its bullshit to defend them. Defending themselves my ass, defenders don’t steal land.
