This poll is not going to be accurate because you have worded it so. Everyone knows there are tunnels there because Israel dug them in particular there before leaving occupation in 2006. The real questions should be if they are connected, serving as a logistics hub, or used for storage of weapons. Even then, that’s a completely different question on if it was justified to take the hospital in the way they did as opposed to just bombing it and of the certainty of the intelligence played into the decision making there.
And I don’t understand, you’re saying it’s better to bomb the hospital given it’s acting as a military hub? That it’s better to bomb it rather than taking it over?
I agree, the poll is basically guaranteed to be at least somewhat inaccurate, for quite a few different reasons. I’m not looking for concrete answers though, just general vibes is fine.
edit: As huge a proponent of the scientific method as I am, it is by design a very slow, thorough and methodical process, that tries to hone in on very accurate answers.
Geopolitics in the modern world is extraordinarily fast. Everything can change in a single day, and never-before-seen things are always right around the corner now. For this reason, the scientific method, while very useful for understanding current geopolitics at some future date, will never be able to actually participate in it in real time, at any kind of major scale. Nor should it, as speeding it up to do so would add inaccuracy.
History involves science. Geopolitics is an art, and will be until scientific research can be done in minutes and hours instead of days, weeks and months. It’s a technical hurdle.

Bro what? Israel digging tunnels in Gaza?

I’m so confused by your comment.

Deception is at the core of all warfare. Politics is inseparable. Any tool to increase data will be gamed for political ends.
Warfare is politics by other means. Politics is not warfare by other means.
