Don't interpret me as saying I'm supporting what they are doing currently. I said explicitly I don't. But after an attack like that I'd fully support military action in the area. You're a fucking fool if you think any modern nation would ever accept that and just sit by without responding.
The problem is in what the response is. Is it a prolonged occupation going building by building? Worked out great for the US. Israel and the US should definitely set about the framework of taking out anyone claiming to be hamas leadership outside of the country. Anyone who had a hand in that attack.
Again the response isn't indescriminate carpet bombing, but there must be a response.
Now you tell me what it should be. It's super easy to sit in your tower and pretend like you have all the answers when we both know you're likely full of shit.
I at least can admit what reality is here. As far as I'm concerned anything else is just people spewing bullshit when they have no idea what they're talking about.
It should have been a ceasefire long ago. Netanyahu has set a criterion for victory (wiping out Hamas) that he knows cannot be met by his current means (attacking Gaza). He wants to be able to continue attacking Gaza with no end possible.
And we're funding that with no strings attached.
