    Massacring civilians to accomplish nothing except temporarily sating blood lust isn’t winning. Not when Hamas does it and not when Israeli forces do it.

    Besides, it’s not like Hamas has anything near a thousandth of the military power that Israel does. As the stronger of the parties and the ones who make all the rules, they bear the majority of the responsibility and thus the majority of the blame.

      They are taking that responsibility, and using it to ensure a permanent end to the conflict. It’s the same thing Palestine would do if they could.

        If you truly believe that, I have oceanfront property in Lichtenstein to sell you 🙄

              Most things get worse before they get better. Once Palestine is gone, there won’t be a conflict anymore. At least not an Israel / Palestine conflict.

              And yes, this is horrible. Palestine wants the same for Israel. It’s all horrible. There can’t be peace there, it’s impossible. There can only be a winner.

                  I’m saying if they don’t, Palestine will never stop trying to genocide Israel. This will end with one of the two wiped off the map. Not before.

                  Those people are the ones who need therapy. All of them. I’m just keeping a realistic attitude about it. I’m not saying it’s not horrible - it’s gut wrenching - just saying it’s inevitable. Protest against inevitable fate all you want. Good luck.

                  Were poor, maligned decisions made all over the world that led to this? Absolutely; but nothing can stop it now that it’s got to this point. These mass protests should have happened back then. A cease fire now would just consist of Palestine rebuilding their forces and attacking back. They’ve said as much. Israel or Palestine will perish, or there will be an indefinite bloody conflict. Is that last one what you’re voting for?
