(1,159 posts)No one is defending Hamas and I don't know a single person who doesn't want them completely destroyed. The concern is about civilians who haven't had a democratic voice in their government for years because Netanyahu opposes a Palestinian state.
My understanding is that the US invasion targeted the Taliban military and didn't carpet bomb the whole country. Nevertheless, there has been a great deal of concern expressed at civilian deaths in Afghanistan and especially Iraq since it wasn't even involved in 9/11.
You are lumping in Muslims with haters and equating desires for a cease-fire with wanting to cripple Israel. We may disagree on the solution, there may not be a good solution, but most people speaking up in good faith wish to reduce the carnage.
