Why should Israelis supply their enemies? This is an unreasonable expectation. Having radical leadership comes with serious consequences. When the Allies were fighting the Nazis, a lot of civilians were killed and displaced. That's the consequence of electing Nazis as your leaders. Even though most Germans didn't vote for Nazis. But they all paid the price. Yes, war is ugly, which is why it's imperative to support leadership who don't want to lead you into war. Once the war starts it's too late.

Nice nuance!

Easily. You are just not thinking staight if you equate Netanyahu with ISIS. They are at totally different levels of development. Of course that doesn't make Netanyahu an angel, but he's not a bloodthirsty radical. If you can't see this difference then you have no business doing politics. Politics is all about distinguishing degrees of bad, and choosing the lesser of two bads.

Not necessarily. Terrorist groups have been eliminated in the past. Or at least take them out of mainstream power. It's not necessary to eliminate at 100%, just enough that they are not officially in charge of the Palestinian majority.

Mormons love it when you show up to their church dressed in a devil costume.

Because Netanyahu does not sit around planning to target civilians in Gaza with attacks. If you think he does that, you're being biased. Netanyahu could have killed 10,000 civilians in Gaza a month ago if that was his agenda.

Even if 60% have some sympathies for Hamas does not make them equivalent to Hamas. Similiar to how everyone in Nazi Germany was part of the Nazi party, but not the same as the active Nazi core. You have to carefully distinguish between those who are too far gone, too radicalized, and those who are moderates and can be deradicalized. What needs to be eliminated is those who only want violence as a solution and those who are suicidal. Those who would plan terrorist attacks.

The Israeli right wing is problematic, but it is not a cancer like Hamas. It's just not the same.

@Vrubel Al Jazeera English does good, fair coverage. Don't know what you mean.

That's far from the case. Don't insult the Palestinians with such talk.

That depends on how aggressive Israel gets. How many war crimes they do. Unless it gets really over the top, I don't see Israel losing international support. We will have to wait and see how much Israel resists doing war crimes.

@lina Well, you have to ask yourself, How else can Hamas be eliminated? Because it certainly cannot be allowed to stay in power. The unfortunate reality is that eliminating Hamas will involve a lot of collateral damage. Hamas is a cancer within the Palestinian population. Eliminating a cancer is very difficult and comes with serious side-effects. I wish that wasn't the case, but that's the situation. Peace negotiations can resume once Hamas is eliminated and Palestinians have sane leadership.

It does what you make of it.

That's not what is happening. Hamas is being hunted down because such people cannot be allowed to lead.

Good example of when the left/Green goes too far: The limits of Green become very obvious.

@mr_engineer Don't you see that you are slowly brainwashing and radicalizing yourself on this whole topic around women? Until eventually your mind will be full of such toxic ideas that you will never be able to relate to women in a healthy way. The more you stew in this bitterness and negativity the worse you will feel, the more angry you will get.

@Schizophonia Tell him to stop taking psychedelics for at least a few months. He is unraveling.

I feel an increase in consciousness from war. War gets you to appreciate life and take it more seriously.

I've seen far more radical stage Blue people. This guy is quite tame.

Don't blow things out of proportion. This is nowhere WW3.

Warning: Do not post radical nonsense in this thread. Be sensible.

Basically anyone shooting at Israelis can be considered Hamas.

I would do an invasion to take out Hamas but not do so much air bombing. I don't think the air bombing is that effective for taking out Hamas and will radicalize too many Palestinians in the future.
