How many innocent children needed to die for this achievement?
Almost like Hamas is systematically using civilians as human shields.
The good guys aren't supposed to shoot the hostages.
Right, Israel should just roll over an accept all death and destructing of their own people just because the Hamas doesn't give a fuck about theirs?
They can defend themselves WITHOUT SHOOTING THE HOSTAGES!
Please explain how? Sit there and eat rockets all day?
The same way the police deal with people that have taken hostages. Or the same way the US military deals with them. BY NOT KILLING THE HOSTAGES.
You are putting an awful lot of effort into purposefully not understanding this concept.
The US doesn't negotiate with terrorists as a policy. the police isn't dealing with people hell bent on murdering them, their family, and all their friends.
The fact that you think your scenarios are related shows you don't understand the situation.
They don't negotiate with terrorists, but they also don't purposefully shoot their hostages either, now do they?
The US negotiates with terrorists every single day. That's just a political slogan. In reality you do want to talk with everyone involved, even if you're planning on betraying and murdering them at the end anyway. The US has negotiated with almost every single terrorist organization in existence worldwide. That's like, the main job of the CIA when they're not too busy smuggling drugs.
Definitely not by murdering and displace people.
Okay, so explain how then.
Use OPIR, COMINT, HUMINT, OSINT, GEOINT and drone imagery alongside sleeper cell infiltrators alongside PRISM and the NSA database to locate the targets, then use one of the following:
Which video game did you get that all out of?
I'm a submariner and have chats with SEALs. What do you do for a living?
Shill on Lemmy
Nobody said that but you
Even given that, Israel still has choices about what it does and responsibility for it. Israel is not forced to mass-murder civilians.
Hamas is making sure there aren't any other options.
Yeah the underdog always calls the shots...lmfao what a joke
That's not how real life works.
The last dude was found hiding in a refugee camp. His decision to hide there doomed others in the camp. They do it on purpose because one side will sometimes play by the rules. Terrorists exploit that.
Yep, they have been doing this for decades.
It's almost a win-win for them. Either they avoid getting bombed ... or they don't but they get to play the victim card and point the finger at Israel. That's literally their playbook.
If only there were some way to go into the refuge camp and kill ONLY THE TERRORIST, instead of firing missiles blindly into the camp.
If only the other refugees would rise against Hamas and stop supporting them.
If only Israelis could stop supporting a genocidal extremist government.
If I recall correctly, Israelis were all out in the streets protesting their government just a month or so ago.
Not enough
stop supporting them.
How many of them support Hamas though?
Hamas exists. A Palestinian resistance to Hamas could exist as well (and would likely be supported by Israel and the United States). Yet, there does not seem to be any Palestinian resistance to their violent and corrupt Hamas overlords.
Their choice is either Hamas, a violent and corrupt warlord, or Fatah, a submissive and corrupt government. Both choice will result in them getting oppressed and drive out from their land.
That's not a good yardstick to measure this.
STFU zionist
Killed about a dozen children to get him though /s
Killed several thousand ~~about a dozen~~ children to get him though

Was my first reaction too, how many dead children?
To all the commentators that obviously know better how to act in a war:
How should Israel act to defend its citizens from the ongoing attacks? How should Israel act, so that Hamas will never be able to harm civilians again?
And don’t tell us what you DON‘T want, tell us what you DO want.
This is the fallacy that America had with black gangs. They think gangs are the problem and the problem needs to be removed.
The reality is that gangs are a solution to problems, such as wealth inequality, racism, violence.
The solution to Hamas is to remove the conditions that made them necessary, which are apartheid, violence, forcible eviction, wealth inequality.
However, Israel's goals are the ethnic cleansing of the area, so this will never work for them. Talks of peace a tool of distraction. If this is not true, then they will return to the 1948 borders, which would make a viable Palestinian and Israeli state. But they'll, make bullshit excuses of why that's not possible.
The difference is the fact that gangs didn't just go around and steal all the food from their own neighbors to make sure they all remained poor and starving on purpose. It's not a good comparison at all.
Sure, it's Hamas that makes Palestinians poor and not the economic blockade enforced by the Israeli offense force. And the bulldozing. And the constant bombardment. And the settler incursions. 🤣
Yes, it is in fact Hamas. They take all the aid brought in and use it to build terror tunnels and keep their own stock. That's why Hamas still has plenty of food, fuel, and medicine, while the Palestinian people are short on all of that.

So you are saying the Islamic State / IS / Daesh was also the product of „conditions that made them necessary“?

Do you know that the Palestinian authorities have denied EVERY attempt of a two state solution since 1948? Why would „they“ now accept borders, they have categorically denied before?

Did they? Or is it Netanyahu? Palestinian Authority had repeatedly demand for the 1948 border to be respected, and evict all the violent illegal settler from the west bank, and Israel repeatedly refused.
"they have denied every attempt at two state solution"
Usual Israeli propaganda to continue the victimhood facade. Israel takes a shit on what a two-state solution should look like, of course the Arabs will bloody reject it.
Yeah, you should probably hear it from Hamas directly, what they think about peace:
