Thanks for the response. Not to attack you but most people who read the biased moderated media will give this response. I challenge people to think about how other countries defended themselves from terrorist attacks, US being the prime example of retaliating the 911 attacks. Are the people driven away from their homes as retaliation. Ordinary peoples home destroyed and people literally carrying what they can grab in their two hands and leaving their homes. So far over 1.5 million innocent civilians having the leave everything they had. No numbers on deaths and injuries because Israel will not give it. How is this any different than what Russia and China are doing?
False equivalence. Did Ukraine storm Russia and murder 1400 civilians at one shot by shooting, beheading, roasting them alive and sending those videos to their families? Did they drag back 200+ hostages to use as bargaining chips? Hamas knew exactly what they were doing and did this to provoke outrage. They knew what the response would be, particularly in the context of Jewish history. Why don’t you ask Hamas why they were not concerned about their fellow Palestinians? Their leaders are after all millionaires living in luxury in foreign lands.
You were either in a rush and did not read my statement properly or need more explanation, as this above statement of yours has no relevance to what I said.
Forget about other countries Russia, China, and set aside the region's history before October 7th. Would like to read your take on this specific question: In response to the horrendous October 7th attacks, what all should Israel have done differently in the past four weeks? And, why? Just like with any criticism, it is easier to say what is wrong with an approach, it is much harder to suggest an alternate approach that is better (and realistic, not ideal).
