Yeah I don’t agree with killing civilians and calling them collateral. It would not have been acceptable for Canada to kill Quebecers to get the FLQ or the British to kill tons of Irish to get the IRA.
Hamas fighters are hiding behind civilians, civilians are told "you die for the cause and we will put your dead bodies on internet to shame Israel. If you leave we will shoot you." IDF announces its raids and tell everyone to get out but Hamas wont let them leave.
The bombing of Berlin and other bombing raids were not done on week one of WW2 but in 1945 near the end of the war. Fighting was mainly army against army for much of the war. At some point it was determined to attempt to break the German spirit in hopes to end the war sooner. Bombing campaigns like these are often thought to have created fewer causalities then letting the war drag on years longer. Its horrible that many people died and I don't ever want anyone to die. Sometimes people need to do horrible things in the name of the greater good.
Killing terrorists doesn’t mean you get to kill everyone else in the way.
I get the Israelis are mad. I get they have legitimate reasons to be mad. But that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to kill uninvolved civilians in some sort of unhinged vendetta.
The population is indoctrinated to hate Israelis by Hamas' absentee leaders. The majority of the population would love nothing more than to have an Israeli kill to their name. How do you spare the peaceful civilians when Hamas has already killed all of them for not supporting their cause?
There is a reason most the West is calling for a ceasefire, it’s because too many innocents are being killed.
Most of the ceasefire talk is coming out of the universities where Marxist professors have convinced woke students that violence is ok if its against a group that is seen to be oppressive. Current GOC supports a ceasefire because most are these same Marxist woke students that didn't have skills to get good jobs so they went into politics. And because they are afraid of violence erupting if they appear to support Israel.
As for Israel oppressing Palestine, without Israel Palestine would not have water or electricity, Many Palestinians travelled into Israel to work and repaid that kindness by providing intel to Hamas about where/when to attack.
Ask yourself if these Palestinians were really "Uninvolved Civilians" than why would Jordan and Egypt not take them in? Or any other Muslim nation for that matter.
Israel had many, many, ceasefires. After every rocket attack they retaliated then ceased fire until the next attack. Take a look at this list and ask yourself If someone attacked your city that many times how would you respond?
