and why is there a shortage of tall buildings in Gaza. Israeli bombs/missiles or misdirected Hamas rockets. How much of the c50% damage in N Gaza is due to misfired Hamas rockets (answer: close to a round number)
I'm not sure what the second sentence is supposed to mean.

You mean like they passed the bodies of dead Jews through the streets and beat them, danced and cheered after October 7? Yeah he was probably part of that atrocity along with his family. It wouldn't be that much different.

Sorry I don't put much stock in anyone in Palestine not hating Jews and wanting them dead. They've been conditioned for years to want to murder Jews and will do it when they can. Kids as young as 12 have run around Israel stabbing Jews. No he probably hates the Jews before. If he was like Id be very angry at those who put my family at risk by using us as human shields. Those are those are the once I be killing and dragging their bodies into the street and bringing them straight to the Israeli so they can run him over. Then I would cheer for the Jews and offer to help.

Ducking the question:
Bradskii said:
Now why do you think that people who have seen their children blown up would not want vengence? In what mystical, rainbow hued, happy ever after fantasy land do you think that people who have already been treated badly by Israel would not want to respond in kind after digging their kids out of the rubble of their home?

Not ducking the question. Why should gazans have a corner on the market of wanting vengeance? Notwithstanding the 1200 slaughtered civilians by hamas (that terrorist group that was elected and supported and protected by gazans) as well as the 200+ that were kidnapped of which some are still being held and now threatened with death Israel has also had to contend with rockets being shot into civilian areas of Israel for years. What is surprising is that Israel long ago did not go in and simply wipe out or remove the gazans. But I believe most are still aware of the Lord's words:
"It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.” Deut32:35.

Who suggested that?

Your first response was:
And good grief, there are a lot of fathers who have lost children or young men who have seen their family blown to pieces who will now willingly volunteer for that.
How do you know that?


Common sense.
Ariel bombing may (or may not) accomplish the military objective. However, inflicting extensive collateral harm will push more non-combatants to pick up arms and resist. They most certainly will not blame Hamas as some have suggested here.

You did when answering for Bradskii. Go back and read it.

That wasn't my comment. Again, go back and read it. #2004 & 1998

Aerial bombing is not going to win the war; we already know wars can't be won from the air (excepting nukes). This action must surely be followed by a ground campaign if Israel truly intends to wipe out Hamas. But a ground campaign would be extremely bloody and difficult without the aerial campaign first. Israel really is attempting to locate and destroy tunnel intersections and Hamas central locations, as well as Hamas personnel. They aren't simply indiscriminately dropping bombs everywhere, because that would not satisfy the hard military requirement before the ground campaign. They're simply not worrying so much about the collateral damage that they're failing to achieve the military objective.

Huh, too bad you can't seem to 'empathize' with Israel for all the suffering hamas, gazans, west bankers, and Arabs in general have inflicted on the Israeli people. You only seem to be able to 'empathize' with the terrorists and company.
I don't think that you actually know what empathise means.

Kids as young as 12 have run around Israel stabbing Jews.
I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Pictures of children with guns. Links to Hamas camps for youngsters. Claims that 12 year olds are stabbing Jewish people to death.

Coming soon to a thread near you: 'Well, OK. Maybe some children have been killed. But look at all the evidence we have given you as to their involvement.'

I think it's telling that you are far more outraged by people pointing out the hamas war camp for teenagers than by the camps themselves.

If you want to know what I am outraged by then you be sure to ask, OK? In the meantime you can ponder why we are seeing more implications that children are not as innocent as might be assumed. And therefore might be justifiable deaths. As opposed to simply being innocent people blown to pieces.

Just ponder the mindset of that line of argument if you could. Maybe you are as sickened by it as I am. But I think it's best to ask.

And hey, start a reply with 'Well what about...' or any similar opening and it would won't be read. You'll be wasting your time. I won't be wasting mine.

No need, your posting behaviour is evidence enough.
It's evidence in regard to what I discuss, yes. But you, and so many others, seem to think that So's Rule is a given. That it explains someone's view on everything if they post an opinion on one thing. It's bizarrely nonsensical. It's ridiculously illogical. It's simply absurd. But most of the posts in this thread are based on it.

So I am not less outraged by camps than I am by people suggesting that they might indicate children are not as innocent as they need. They are two entirely separate points and you seem totally incapable of grasping the two ideas concurrently.

Posting a picture of a ten year old girl with a gun was obviously done for a reason. Anyone who thinks it was to point out the horrors of child soldiers in Uganda is a fool. It was specifically posted in the middle of a discussion about the current death toll and the number of children being killed.

Do I have to join the dots for you? Do I have to explain that if I question why it was done then I am not indifferent to the abuse of ten year old Ugandan girls? Do I have to explain that if I question why, at this point in the discussion, Hamas camps for adolescents are being brought up then I am horrified by the thought of teaching children hate and violence? Is that really necessary?

Apparently it is.

Exclusive: Nearly half of the Israeli munitions dropped on Gaza are imprecise ‘dumb bombs,’ US intelligence assessment finds


Unguided munitions are typically less precise and can pose a greater threat to civilians, especially in such a densely populated area like Gaza. The rate at which Israel is using the dumb bombs may be contributing to the soaring civilian death toll.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden said Israel has been engaged in “indiscriminate bombing” in Gaza.

[E]xperts told CNN that if Israel is using unguided munitions at the rate the US believes they are, that undercuts the Israeli claim that they are trying to minimize civilian casualties.

“It’s bad enough to be using the weapons when they are precisely hitting their targets. It is a massive civilian harm problem if they do not have that accuracy, and if you can’t even give a benefit of the doubt that that the weapon is actually landing where the Israeli forces intended to,” Castner added.

Marc Garlasco, a former United Nations military analyst and war crimes investigator who served as chief of high value targeting on the Pentagon’s Joint Staff in 2003, said that using unguided munitions in a densely populated area like Gaza both greatly increases the chance that a target is missed and that civilians are harmed in the process.
