    Do you not agree that a country should react to acts of terrorism?

    You’re implying a false dichotomy, as though in response to a terrorist attack you either lie down and accept further attacks, or grind gaza into the dust.

      No, I’m not. Grinding Giza to the dust is not what’s being done. Hamas contribute more by firing uncontrollable missiles that also tend to fall in Gaza.

      But you are implying a reality where every single sane person should ignore the existence and terrorism of hamas and Palestinians. Probably.

        Hyperbole on my part, but not excessive given the post we’re discussing this under.

        Patently false. I’ll refer you again to the pictures in this article.

        But you are implying a reality where every single sane person should ignore the existence and terrorism of hamas and Palestinians.

        This is the false dichotomy I referred to in my last comment. Perhaps you should look it up. We can acknowledge the existence of terrorism and respond appropriately without causing a humanitarian crisis.

        This is classic American “fucked around and found out” diplomacy. Like a child with a hammer.

          We can … respond appropriately without causing a humanitarian crisis.

          Yeah kindly explain how exactly maybe?

          If hamas wouldn’t use Palestinians as a shield there would be no crisis.
