    While Hamas exists, there will always be a threat to Israel.

    Also, it’s funny how no one blames Hamas for using Palestinians as human shields. It’s always “why would the Israelis do this?” “The Israelis must stop” “Israel is a fascist state” blah blah blah.

    Israel literally drops flyers into areas where they’re going to bomb, to let civilians escape. Hamas tells those people to stay, because it’s in the interests of Hamas for more civilians to die.

      Sorry but this is some “stop hitting yourself” bullshit. It’s illegal to bomb hospitals. Nobody is forcing Israel to do that. They are deliberately choosing to do that.

        It’s not illegal to bomb hospitals if they’re being used for military purposes.

        That applies to any building. It makes it a legitimate target.

      At some point you’ve got to balance the interests of destroying your enemies and trying to minimise civilian casualties. Israel is only doing the former. Even if they destroy Hamas, their actions will cause more people to take up arms against them. Remember that 20-year-long war on terror we just finished? Didn’t work, did it?
