How many civilians have you killed?

@wildgrass
20 yrs from now people will call this current conflict an unprovoked slaughter of Palestinians. They are going to leave out the facts. This is what you are doing here with these two comments:

..the 6 day war in 1967? Hundreds of prisoners mass slaughter stuff.

In 1982 ... they were dropping bombs everywhere in Lebanon hoping one of them might hit a terrorist.

Those two statements are not factual.

Why does it matter if the killers come in through the front door or the roof?

Bombing civilians area makes bad situations worse. This is a never ending conflict. One of the misconceptions here is that the civilian deaths are having an effect at all on Hamas. I am not a military strategist, but it seems they are not. Pointless killing in revenge for pointless killing.

According to Hamas, with the full support of the Gaza people, the conflict will only end when they have regained all of Palestine from the river to the sea, and have killed out the Jews in the process.

So the choice is kill or be killed.

so I've always wondered...what is the best way to accomplice population control in a country? I don't know how the Chinese did it...But..is is better to sterilize the men or to prevent the women from becoming pregnant?

Going after people have made it their life mission to kill you is not war-mongering.

It doesn’t matter if they come through the front door or the roof if they specifically choose you for murder, rape, and torture. It is personal preference selection which is quite different from collateral damage in a random chance encounter with an attack on a combatant. You actually can not see the difference? The end result is the same but the motivation is completely ...[text shortened]... are meaningless to you why complain at all, none of us are going to make it out of this life alive.

You could up the kill ratio to 1000:1, kill a million Palestinians, but 4 million still remain.

Is that the strategy? My prediction:

Hamas goes nowhere. Your war was not won.

@KellyJay said
If genocide was the goal you should be able to see a great reduction of Palestinian people since the days Israel returned as a country, please look up the numbers if you actually believe that is true.

@wildgrass said
The motive is anger on both sides of this conflict.

Israel and the whole world has known Hamas is capable of mass murder. They've stated as such and proven it before. So why did Israel wait until after October 7th to "defend itself" in this way? Why didn't they bomb civilians in rafah years ago?

Because they were not angry enough.

@KellyJay said
Israel is angry because of an attack on its people. Had Oct 7 not happened there would not be any attacks against Gaza. There was no reason to attack until the slaughter of Oct 7th, everyone would have been at peace. It sounds like in your mind Israel wanted to attack but was looking for an excuse, what a twisted mind you have if that is true!

@wildgrass said
Revenge killing civilians in anger is just not something that an ally should be asking someone else to pay for.

But they're our 51st state don't ya know?
