General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: 15,000 children killed in Gaza by Israel. [View all]Israel. A nation surrounded by people that would just as soon see them wiped off the planet. Some nations leaders have actually said as much. Have listened to their neighbors threaten this shit for decades. DECADES. And these are people who had hundreds of thousands or people killed in the Holocaust. When someone attacks them the way that Hamas did there was never ever going to be any fucking around and if a government such as Hamas puts their own civilians in harms way, they should own it.It doesnt absolve Usrael of their response but Hamas is putting their own civilians in harms way after provoking a war.
Israel almost had no choice but to attack harshly (I do not accept that they had to go this far) or they would just be sitting ducks, for everyone.
It seems to me that people think the only response Israel should have done was to try and go door to door trying to root out all of Hamas. That results only in many more Israelis getting killed. Why would Israel be required to give up more of its own lives? Hamas attacked a nation, promised to attack again (still to this day) and nobody seems to want to hold them accountable for the tactics they are using. The only response I hear is more Israelis should die in order to root out Hamas or that Israel should just suck it up. All while how many of their people taken as hostages still have not been freed.
I dont have to like Israels response to understand it.
