About one in every 100 people in Gaza has been killed since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted on October 7, according to Palestinian statistics.
What is Israel supposed to do? I’m genuinely asking. I’m not implying what they have done is what should’ve happened but I’m genuinely puzzled what the imagined alternative would have been. You don’t react to Hamas’s attack by packing up your shit and leaving. You don’t respond to it by asking what your enemy would like you to do differently so that this doesn’t happen again. You retaliate. It’s blatantly obvious that’s what you do especially since they have a superior military. How do you retaliate? That is the question I’d like answered. What is a reasonable and justifiable retaliation to their act?
If you catch a kid throwing rocks at windows you don’t shoot them or punch them in the face but you don’t pat them on the head either and give them candy. There are better and worse ways to deal with it here.
You legitimately target Hamas with actual precision attacks. If they’re hiding under a hospital, you go down there and deal with them, you don’t bomb the fucking hospital.
I’m only finding articles for the Al-Ahli incident so that’s why I’m asking. I’m not aware of Israel bombing any hospitals but I’m sure you can educate me.
You’re speaking of the incident when a rocket hit Al-Alhi hospital’s parking lot? That is not example of Israel bombing a hospital. It’s quite universally agreed it was a rogue hamas rocket.
They could do literally anything other than indiscriminate artillery and bombing campaigns. They target hospitals, schools, and refugee camps and you ask “what else are they supposed to do?”
Considering Gaza is inside of Israel technically, and Israeli intelligence is some of the best and most funded in the entire world, the IDF should have a very clear understanding of where Hamas militants are.
The IDF is equipped with all of the latest American toys. They know how to find people that don’t want to be found. They’re just doing genocide.
How do you know they are indiscriminately bombing? How do you know they purposefully targeting civilians hospitals and schools? We’re not talking about Hamas here, which openly has been doing that constantly, for decades. With child suicide bombers mind you.
Politically obviously there’s not going to be electoral punishment in Israel for killing people who cant vote in your elections. This isnt even about retaliation its about retaliation theater. Obviously the people they’re killing mostly had nothing to do with the attacks.
They could drop less bombs but it seems like the Israeli army is understaffed and they’re unwilling to conscript their yahoo settlers and take them away from harassing the west bank to send them to gaza where at least they might kill less children than the neighborhood leveling air strikes.
If the weapon supply line were threatened to be cut off, Israeli politicians would reluctantly dial down the genocide and they’ve even suggested as much. But so far it hasn’t happened yet because whoever stops this will be blamed for the next terror attack (and there will 100% be another one) and will become enemy #1 in Israel.
So Joe Biden is cowardly hoping some european countries decide to do something so he doesn’t become the guy who pisses off the Imperial outpost in the middle east.

Have they bombed a hospital?
How do you “go down there” exactly? You just walk in and ask where the entrance is? Your solution is quite vague.
Given the level of knowledge you just displayed it appears to be you who is quite vague, what he said was perfectly clear to most of us

Not just that, they blew off the head of a 12 year old girl that was lying in a hospital with a tank shot.
That girl was lying in that hospital because she got her leg amputated and her entire family killed in an israeli airstrike.
Yes. It was major worldwide news reported by every MSM outlet.

if they know its there they’ll know how people get in and out of it.

What is this hospital bombing everyone is talking about? Every single article I’m finding is about the Al-Alhi incident.
