    So they’re destroying thousands of homes to not kill the terrorists hiding there?

    You have three hours to leave your house, forever. What the fuck do you grab? How much money and personal history are you about to lose, as you scramble to corral your screaming children? Screaming, of course, because the “notice” is a fucking bomb going off on the roof. Look around you right now. 99% of what you’re surrounded by is not coming with you. Reduced to shrapnel, under rubble, on fire.

    Your clothes. Your valuables. Your food. Your medicine. Every book you’ve ever read, every letter you’ve ever received, every keepsake you’ve ever cherished, destroyed.

    All in the name of killing bad guys - who heard the same explosive “warning” you did, and were ready to leave at a moment’s notice. Walk me through how that’s not the worthless crime your entire life is now about. How many decades will it take, before you ever feel safe again, in your own home? How many years will it take you to even consider a place “your home?”

      Yeah. But it’s a double edged sword. If they didn’t have notice and just bombed the house they would get even more condemned. It’s just the best option beside a ground offensive. And maybe the people of Gaza realise that if they don’t want to move every other day, they should snitch on them who force them: Hamas. They should realise that Hamas is the target and they get away unharmed because they were using civilians to deter immediate response

        … are you so dense that you think the alternative is “commit the atrocity without the warning?”

        No. You must be fucking with me. Stop pretending to be this thick.
