The Israelis hold the families accountable because of the bounty payments made by the PA. If a terrorist blows himself up and kills Israelis, they pay the family a buttload of money. The only way to eliminate that incentive is to bulldoze the home so they can't profit off it. I have zero problem with that.
But otherwise, you are re-interpreting what Trump actually said to make it more gentle than it actually was. His quote about "taking out" family members of terrorists because terrorists care about them has been posted multiple times. And the meaning of that statement is pretty clear even if you don't acknowledge it.
But in case you just think it is an anti-Trump person deliberately misconstruing what he said, maybe you should check out how some pro-Trump people have interpreted it:

Hey , Is it a war crime to cut off the heads of Christians on the Libyan coast and put it You Tube? How about burning them alive in cages — that ok? Let’s see them drowning in cages on tv or letting 12 year old boys blow their brains out with their hands behind their back. . Any “WAR CRIME” concern there? — I guess not. Israel attacks the homes of terrorist all the time— they bull doze them in reprisal — are you anti- Semitic? I don’t give a crap about ISIS FAMILIES!! GO TRUMP!!

I wish trump had just done it if he won office and not said it. I don’t care how many ISIS family members are killed if it keeps my wife, nieces and nephews safe.

I may not have said it in Trumps terms, but I can't say I disagree. Terrorists beget terrorists. It was their wives ululating as the towers burned and laughing as men burned on a bridge in Falluja... It is their male children who grow up to burn people alive or drown them in cages, who rape boys, and chop heads off of innocents....It is their female children who grow up to breed more of the vermin. All they will understand is what Trump suggests.

Well, yes, yes he is advocating war crimes. That's why we need to legalize them...as our adversaries have.

Terrorist target you and your family, its time to target their families and homes.
I voted for Cruz on Super Tuesday.
I have felt this way since 911, it has nothing to do with who I support, though I agree with Trump.
I certainly would not want ground troops to go in and shoot the families (pull the trigger)because I think it is too much to ask. I'd settle for a targeted air strike on their tent.
. . .And the entire town of falluja ought to have been made into a giant piece of glass.
I follow pretty closely. I don’t care about these posts you have. Trump didn’t say to shoot their families. Never.
trump fan!!!???
why I ought to... :)
i’m for cruz until trump wins but I will defend trump where I think he is right.
i’m sure covert ops did much worse in past wars and I don’t care.
my family DOES mean more to me and if killing 10000 of them will stop a nuke from going off in NYC and killing everyone I love, then kill as many as need be.
the only enemy That DEFINITELY cant hurt you is a dead one.
and these families are’t innocent bystanders like American families.
they celebrate jihad and suicide deaths etc.
