    Also by the way your solution is to just let Hamas continue intentionally attacking civilian targets?

    Hmmm… and yet nowhere did I say that. I’m seriously asking…

    If you were in the IDF, Hamas fired from inside a hospital full of children, do you shoot at the hospital knowing that at least a few children will be hit?

    I think the question is clear. So yes or no?

      So yes or no, @player1@sh.itjust.works?

      Do you shoot at the hospital and say these kids were killed by your enemy even though it was your own bullet that hit them?

      Or do you say, “oh shit yeah these kids are just like my own, I can’t shoot this hospital, there needs to be another way around this that I could come up with as a highly trained combatant”

      Because Israel goes with the first one almost always.

        You still didn’t answer my question. What is the other option here for Israel? Hamas backed them into a corner by launching missles from hospitals, schools, mosques, etc.

        Hamas wants Palestinians to be killed more than anyone else in this situation. They’re basically daring Israel to attack civilian areas. They are trying to elicit a reaction exactly like the one you are exhibiting. Meanwhile Iran is laughing as they use Palestinians as cannon fodder in order to get people pissed at Israel and the west.

        What other option is there for Israel other than just surrendering to Hamas?
