    This will end with the destruction of an entire culture and sets back peaceful discourse for generations. Not enough people with a voice weep for the suffering of the innocent, regardless of the perpetrator.

      No need for peace talks if you exterminate the other side taps forehead - Israel probably.

      It’s truly a shame to watch this play out. And no this doesn’t mean I support Hamas. I just also don’t support Israel.

        I agree native Americans should have had the ability and freedom to fight against their colonizing oppressors, and I think the same applies for any other group, Palestinians included. Should that be through Hamas? I don’t know. It’s not really for me to judge. They’re being oppressed and murdered by a much more powerful force which is getting weapons and support from the most powerful nations in the world. They aren’t going to win a conventional battle. The only option is what Israel will always call terrorism. What restrictions should be applied isn’t really up for us to decide until we at least stop supporting the Zionists.

          Those people need food and water. It’s not just the ordinance doing the killing right now.

        It’s hard to imagine how they can’t realize this is just leading to further radicalization. So much so I have to wonder if that’s either the goal or they simply don’t intend on leaving anyone left at the end of this.

          If the war ends, Netanyahu will be ousted from power and most likely convicted for fraud for previous crimes. That’s why he has set the goal of eradicating hamas. I guess we will know when hamas has been eradicated when they update their website to tell us that they are all dead?

          Netanyahu is using this war to stop from going to jail.

            Eliminating Hamas is a worthy goal but this simply can’t be the only way.

              It’s an unrealistic goal that is impossible to reach.

              Which is why Netanyahu has set this as the goal.

              How will we know when Hamas has been destroyed?

              Netanyahu is playing games with the future of Israel because all he cares about is his own pitiful self.

                Yeah I’m not saying I have any answers now that it’s come to this point. But not bolstering Hamas in the past and actually allowing the palistinians civilians some hope would have done wonders.
