This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

    Ok but… Who attacked? Shure it was preventable and im definitely hating Netanjahu for not taking action before it happened, but the offense came from Hamas, they could have just not tried to commit a genocide. You cant push the blame of this on Israel regardless of if it was or wasn’t preventable by a preventative military action, they are the victim of a attack. And a preventative strike would have resulted in basically the same, everyone blaming Israel for defending their civilians from genocidal maniacs.

    In my opinion, they should absolutely have done a preventative action against that, but just like on “9.11” warnings where ignored for one reason or another, likely disbelief that hamas would be capable of pulling it off at all.

      Well they were actually attacked from more than just Hamas, but it is Hamas that perpetrated the massacres. It doesn’t help that Hamas took hostages. If there were no hostage-taking, none of this would be as messy as it is.

      In my personal armchair opinion, I think Israel should’ve waited before immediately going for the hostages to get some international support. But then again, that’s giving Hamas power.

        Yeah Islamic jihad was there as well, but thats basically the little brother of hamas and a branch of Isis

        And Israel did wait for a significant amount of time for that kind of problem. The remaining hostages are dead by now and they knew hamas isn’t nice to them, there aren’t any actual reports from freed hostages, because Israel is shielding them from everything and most are in therapy, but some statements where made, these include systematic rape, torture and more things along these lines.
