I'm trying to understand their point of view.

It's called Imagination, you don't seem too familiar with it.

Obviously Hamas is thinking about leverage, do you think the IDF isn't?

Why all the Lies, Beheaded babies, mutilated pregnant women, etc.

Always the most shocking things imaginable.

That's seeking leverage. Starving whole populations,seeking leverage.

Bombing areas called "safe" when they're most crowded with hungry, frightened, people, more leverage.

Not to mention,but I will, the ten thousand hostages Israel holds in preventive detention that they torment for years.

Israel made this existential for the Palestinians decades ago.

They're just Scared by the fact Hamas drew blood after all of their oppression and collective punishment.

I don't like the idea of Americans or anyone being held hostage.

But that means everyone.

I said Palestinians not Muslims. They aren't synonymous.

Is English your first language?

You seem a trifle Slow.

If Hamas releases the hostages they lose all leverage.

Based on past behavior Israel will kill MORE Palestinians after the hostages are released.

They will be even more Barbaric than they've been so far.

There won't be any reason To show any restraint at all

Except human decency and I haven't noticed any of that in the IDF.

They are Savages, as bad as Hamas.

Do the Likud even see Palestinians as people, or just Vermin?

Likud is the problem... they're Israeli Nazis.

If they aren't Broken this will continue until open regional War.

Culture and Sadism are not the same. Should we tolerate human sacrifice in the name of "culture".

How about Suttee,or the Kali death cult. Should those be accepted? Or Tolerated?

Noem is stupid, it's not her culture. Being a farmer doesn't mean someone kills pets or hunting animals just out of annoyance.

That's personal conduct. And her's is criminal and unhinged.

The Israeli's are taking more than an eye for an eye.

They are killing 20 to one or more their own losses.

An eye for an eye would mean stopping after 1200 killed. Have they done that?

They intend extermination and resettlement, nothing less.

Hamas is moderate compared to Likud.

The UN should be intervening, trusting Israel to be humane is obviously not working.

How is this any better than Sebrenica, or any of the other Balkan massacres that brought NATO into Serbia?

The UN should be separating the two sides and creating a place for people to survive.

Instead the US vetoes UN resolutions and arms and funds mass slaughter while mouthing Puerilities about international law.

No wonder people are protesting.
