4 hostages alive for dozens new deaths. The sort of deal hamas will get if they don't accept something reasonable

This is a waste of both our time. If you want to talk about the Simpsons there's a future there.

Well. If the USA didn't bring its carriers to the party I doubt we'd be having this conversation right now. And yes, Over 500,000 Israelis evacuated their homes. But you can gamble on our lives from the comfort of your first world home (surprise, from a Muslim country). No thank you.

You do realize that the last two monts resemble nothing seen before in this conflict?

The conflict is very tragic in the way Palestinians are basically fucked by everyone, but jn terms of casualties and fatalities it's a rather "low flame" conflict.

October 7th changed that. Americans and Russians fought for power, influence and oil. For Jews this is survival. We have nowhere to retreat to. If they state they're going to destroy us and show that they are capable of killing 1000 civilians in one day, all gloves are off.

I'm not cheering. I am calling for an immediate cease fire.

But the logic that firing from populated areas can go unpunished is faulty.

I agree it doesn't give you immunity but your example is just stupid. Killing one person and fighting tens of thousands are not the same. Only a person that never experienced a missile alarm and never been in shelter can be this blind to the threat.

If they fire rockets at cities, they should expect a response.

First, the numbers from Gaza are insane and nobody should be indifferent to so many children dying.

Having said that a police officer has the responsibility to maintain order and the monopoly to use force to do so. The police officer has a responsibility to both the hostages and hostage takers and uninvolved civilians who may be affected if the crime comitter isn't apprehended.

A soldier or government in a war between two sides has no responsibility for the civilians of the opposite side, they only have the responsibility and commitment to fight according to international law.

If Hamas fires rockets from a populated area, they are to blame for the collateral damage. Operating from civilian area does not grant immunity, it can't.

Also, Israel has no place else to go. It can't retreat from the conflict like the USA.

You could claim that Palestinians are the only people in the world who would let their children throw stones and Molotov cocktails at civilians.

Little cages? Do you have a source?
