Israel vs. Gaza round 99

Not sure how blowing up a hospital is cowardly, but go on.

The alternative to taking something out with an air strike, which has basically zero risk to anyone on the striking side, is to take control of it using ground troops. Israel has a standing army and doesn't necessarily need to use air strikes to reduce every multi-story building to rubble. They are taking the path that is low risk to their soldiers and high risk to civilians despite being able to drive to most of these places in minutes.

Cowardice is actually the kindest possible rationale to attribute to them. More likely it's both of these:
1) if they start holding territory with the military/directly getting rid of Hamas then they slip towards a one state solution
2) they do the math and even if they expect 20 Palestinian civilians saved per Israeli soldier lost, they think the trade isn't worth it

It isn't like Israel can't completely take over Palestine militarily in days. It's that after they do so, they will literally and undeniably be an apartheid state unless they give Palestinians equal (voting) rights, which they won't do.

[NynJa]

The very nature of an air strike is cowardly by that logic.

So firing rockets is cowardly, and using sick people as a human shield for the base of operations is also cowardly.

Just send a few soldiers in, I'm sure that'll end up in fewer casualties on both sides lol

technically if you kill all the palenstinians they would stop reproducing thus putting a hardcap on potential casualties

If any country sent a single rocket to the US, we would blow them to the moon using a nuclear weapon. Doesn’t matter if that rocket came from some lonely dude in Antarctica, he’s getting puzzle piece’d. And don’t pretend for a second that wouldn’t happen.

Yeah, just like we nuked Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11, right?

[NynJa]

Is the oil usable after its been nuked?

[Koyangi]

I don't think either of them fired a rocket TO the US.

You’re right, instead we said “let the terrorists win” and donated a bunch of weaponry to the Taliban so it could be a fair fight.

[Ksandra]

9/11 is a poor example because when you start sending rockets to the US, you don’t have to come to the US to be a threat.

A whole bunch of y'all are really gunning for the actually one side isn't as bad as the other angle when nah, both sides suck and should probably stop bombing each other.

Or just straight acting like Hamas is an innocent actor. That Atlantic piece was pretty spot on

I think you're confusing 'rocket' with 'missile'.

I'm anti-human, not anti-semite. Why judge just one regional culture? All nations with the capability to war and such fraught borders have done and will do the same thing. Throw shitty religion and a revenge cycle into the toxic soup and this'll keep happening until both sides are completely scrubbed from the planet. I know it, you know it; everyone knows it, regardless of whether they want to hear it or not.

Humans with weapons and a hatred of a neighbor don't just stop using those weapons. They must either be compelled or culled, as history has shown.
