when hamas murdered innocent civilians is when Israel SHOULD have completely taken off the proverbial gloves and absolutely crunched hamas once and done. when a bully bloodies your nose you don’t spar, you run if you are WEAK and hope they won’t do it again OR you beat the bully to a bloody pulp to send a message...do it again and there won’t even be pulp left. instead Israel is still playing footsies with Hamas. “It’s easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission” Admiral Grace Hopper USN
“beat the bully to a bloody pulp to send a message...do it again and there won’t even be pulp left”
If the ‘pulp’ is in the form of buildings, the bully was been whacked hard, but the bully obviously is still malevolent and now has little left to lose.
