    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.

              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.

                  I mean… They could form a new, democratic government? This isn’t rocket science. Why are the only choices that current, dysfunctional regimes? They wouldn’t be the first country in living memory to create a new democracy, if they chose to attempt it.

            If only Israelis could stop supporting a genocidal extremist government.

      Same argument applies for Russian Iskander strikes in Ukraine. It’s widely recognized that Russian Iskander strikes are targeting military personnel with visual confirmation and that civilian casualties are collateral damage.

      Are you going to support that, too? Argue that Ukraine is using human shields? That Ukraine is filled with terrorists?
