    This is a legitimate question, of course.

    You still have to take out the terrorists, while trying to minimize civilian casualties.

    Because, unfortunately, otherwise the terrorists will murder more of your own (and their own, by the way) civilians.

    Like with the Nazis in Germany, the battle has to be fought to the end. More people will be murdered in the longer run if you don't. It's like a cancer. You have to cut it out completely.

    You're fine with the Dresden fire bombings that killed all those German civilians?

    The Nazis had to be defeated. You can nitpick individual acts in a horrible war, but at the end of the day, the Nazis had to be defeated. The end result was not a defeat for Germany, but a liberation from the Nazis who would have otherwise brought even more terror and genocide to the world.

    pffft if israel was serious about ending hamas, just ramp up the war and be done with it. But nah, it's easier to kill a sht ton of innocent muslims with missiles and cry victim.

    At the rate we are going Hamas is not gonna get destroyed and all israel has to show for it is thousand and thousands of innocent muslims dead with folk like u cheerin for it.

    like u said if its a cancer, ramp up the war, go for the kill and fight until only one side is left. It's bloody and will lead to many innocent people dying, but in the long run ironically less will die. This prolong bs about ending hamas is not doing anything but killing countless of innocent muslims with nothing to show for it.

    But we all know israel isn't willing to push it to the next level without fear of being exposed. folks like to spin it like Israel survival is at stake, but all i see is a highly powered nation funded with our tax payers money to kill countless innocent Muslims with literally nothing to show for it.

    This is literally David v Goliath but Goliath is crying about survival as it pummels the underdog but not willing to deal the finishing blow.

    I meant, how would you "ramp up the war", technically speaking? A lot more ground troops going into Rafah?

    If i was Israel, I would wipe Palestine off the map and conquer it which will effectively put a stop to anymore Hamas attacks. Of course the international backlash will b insane, it wouldn't really matter as long as I got big bro US backing me.

    If the outcome is to save more lives, ramping up the war and effectively ending it as quick as you can will reach that outcome. This prolong bs about survival and ending Hamas is just a big excuse to milk America for it's money, getting a free pass (in their eyes) to kill innocent muslims and avoid exposing Israel hypocrisy to everyone.

    We all know israel can wipe palestine off the map anyday of the week, instead it wants to play the long game with propaganda and take it sweet ass time killing as much muslims as possible.


    Oct 7 was like 6 months ago and Israel is still nowhere near to ending Hamas

    Students are allowed to protest, it's always those who dislike the message who attempt to vilify them. Kids protesting the Vietnam war must have encounter the same sht, except with the internet/online media we see everything real time.

    Well if these kids don’t want to eat anything
    Then let them do what they want to do

    I didn’t eat a chocolate chip cookie today so that does the exact same thing they are doing

    absolutely nothing

    Dresden and to a lesser extent Berlin, will always be debated for its civilian death toll. I'm not going to debate its merits though I am always interested hearing German opinion on their own tragedies.
