Negotiation tactics don’t generally involve shooting through the hostage.

Fucking awesome. I’m a fucking nazi and I love killing children. All I need to do is say a terrorist (lol everyone who opposes me is a terrorist btw I’m a nazi, remember?) is hiding there and I can kill like 20 at a time. And the best part is I NEVER EVER HAVE TO SHOW EVIDENCE. The western media just repeats my press releases!

It works on hospitals. It works on refugee camps. It works when I target individual ambulances!

lol you are really so dishonest to say that the only choices are to bomb a bunch of children and civilians or do nothing at all.

Yeah its well known by everyone that they hide where they have human shields, this doesn’t make it ok to just ignore the civilians but it explains the high casualtys to a certain extent…

No it isn’t and Israel specifically didn’t sign the Geneva convention.

Arguable. You do know bombings were happening before Israel was a thing right?

Yeah i don’t like how Israel deals with it as well, but i also don’t see another option, Palestinians kicking Hamas out won’t happen and Hamas has already proven they make people stay with force.

And the settler thing is also not exactly a good thing.

Well, this claim has been made by Israel, too, as if to say the tunnels are all underneath hospitals. But they showed a quickly made 3D rendering, not proof.

Good ol’ Isreal showing school shooters that bombing is better for killing kids.

So if someone attacks you and threatens to eradicate everyone in your country and has their rocket launchers on top of hospitals, hides their fighter in refugee camps, and has their operation offices under schools, what do you do:

  1. Nothing

  2. Tell all civilians to leave and bomb schools, hospitals and refugee camps.

The main problem is Hamas using Palestinians as shields. There is almost 0 uproar against Hamas in here. But its their fault Palestinians are dying.

There is plenty of uproar about Hamas everywhere.

The difference being that Hamas is a terrorist organization who has no ties to our allies. Israel, one of our biggest allies in the middle east, is the one who should be held to a higher standard and should know better than to carpet bomb half the place to kill 10x+ civilians than terrorists.

This is a shit-tier excuse for bombing schools, regardless.

Yeah their take seems to ignore the fact that there’s other options than just drop a bomb on the school

ceasefire begin talks with the other Palestinian government that isnt Hamas

You can take the power away from Hamas by taking away palestinian people’s reason to be angry. But as it stands, Hamas is literally the Gazan government.

Genuine question - What would the realistic solution be?

I’m by no means absolving Israel. The voices of their government alone show that they don’t even try to prevent civilian casualties. But of the top of my head I don’t exactly see a solution. For example putting a foot on the ground would provoke their neighbors. They can’t just ignore Hamas either.

If the only solution I could think of to a problem was to bomb a school I would simply ask someone else to come up with better ideas.

Didn’t say it was easy. I said bombing a school isn’t an option.
