    There are still 100+ hostages from many countries in Gaza. Their only shot is if the Israelis can get information of exactly where they are at. Making the area without electricity, food, etc is one way to compel human intel. But, the clock is running.

      “war crimes are okay to save hostages” is certainly a perspective I didn’t expect to read today.

          Than commit war crimes? Yeah. Not complex bud. War can be conducted without this type of intentional atrocity.

            So theres one vote for no warning. Then you would cry about a surprise attack. There are people in Gaza moving south, so they disagree with you. Btw, according to the news Hamas has advised them to stay in their homes.

              Huh? Why are you putting words in my mouth? How would conventional military tactics require surprise attacks?

              I don’t support the settlements, but support Israel’s right to exist.

              There’s miles of distance between “Israel should have a right to defend itself against Hamas.” and “Israel can only defend itself through war crimes and genocide.”

                Trying to tell you that you are presenting a no win position to Israel. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t,

                You’re trying to use war crimes as an argument that doesn’t make much sense.

          The civilians of Palestine are not responsible for the actions of Hamas, the taking of hostages is not an excuse for warcrimes.

            The citizens are not responsible for their rulers…I suppose that’s been a delusion for centuries.

            But, you didn’t answer my question.

        I suggest you don’t place the word ‘children’ in your comment a day after I see an Israeli baby in it’s own blood on my TV,
