    If I had to guess, I’d say funding and plausible deniability are the big reasons. The longer the war wages on, the longer the US and other allies keep sending them money and weapons. And killing them off slowly makes it easier to argue to the ICC that you weren’t trying to commit genocide, it just kinda happened as an oh-so-unfortunate side-effect of defending themselves.

      What “plausible deniability”?

      If they spent two hours killing everyone in Gaza, it’d be over before anyone could do anything about it. And then what? Nobody’s going to war with a nuclear power in revenge for Gazans. Bibi just stops visiting Brooklyn and nothing happens.

      But they don’t do that. The Jews of Israel bleed and die to save the lives of Gazans who hate them. I wouldn’t, but they do.

        It took the Germans a while to liquidate the Warsaw Ghetto. The Zionists have killed 200,000 so far (according to the Lancet) and rendered all of Gaza uninhabitable.

          Only because they used starvation instead of air power. Israel sends 3500 calories to Gaza per Gazan per day; that’s more food per day than a person eats in Luxembourg.

          The Zionists have killed 200,000 so far (according to the Lancet)

          You surely mean “according to a letter someone sent to the Lancet, using a methodology that counts currently-living persons as “fatalities.”

                I refuse to allow Zionists to hijack the Jewish faith for their distorted agenda. Stop straw manning the argument.

            If you believe that then I’ve got a pile of international NGO and UN reports you need to read.
