    Hamas doesn’t stop murdering innocent civilians, deliberately targets civilians and avoids military targets, and then hides behind civilians.

    Israel needs to eradicate Hamas, but can’t do so as Hamas hides behind civilians. Options are to allow Hamas to butcher the innocent, or go after Hamas with civilian casualties.

    I don’t like it, but the extermination of Hamas is necessary. The Gaza civilians are in a terrible position if they withdraw their support of Hamas, Hamas will just execute them. It’s shitty, and terrible, but this is all on Hamas and only highlights the need for their removal.

      Hamas hides behind civilians, yes. They doesn’t make killing the civilians right. It makes both sides wrong. Hamas is a terrorist organisation. This is not a war as the west bank doesn’t have an army. Israel prevent them having legitimacy as a country. One consequence of this is paramilitary organisations.

      When a terrorist takes hostages, we don’t bomb the hostages to get them out. We kill the terrorists if possible and try to free the hostages.

      Israel needs to eradicate Hamas, Hamas needs to eradicate Israel. They can’t both be right, thus, it can only be that both are wrong.
