Nobody wants that, not even Israel. Israel now feel the need to end this once and for all. Israel itself is pretty small, as is the population. Even when the early tally of deaths came out it was equivalent to something like 21,000 American's being killed during 9/11. It's a significant attack on a relatively small population. Look how the USA responded when only < 3000 died.
Given the small size of Gaza I've wondered if there's a way they could separate the Hamas terrorists away from the innocent Palestinians. There's a nice long beach there. If they could get it over in 24 hours, first give the signal to evacuate to the beach then clean the city out. Of course, processing 2million people into shelter wouldn't be easy though.
To stop a repeat a longer term solution needs to be in place. A Palestinian state but the people also need opportunities otherwise it'll happen again, a terrorist group will form. Born into such an environment, with little to no opportunities, a terrorist or group recruiting from the Palestinian population is way too easy

Link? I suspect an intentional lack of context on your part.not if you don't count kids throwing stones at APC's rolling through their streets................... unless we are also now saying that they were legitimate targets
It was just an idea and yes, I know it's not great. And gaza is not a country, it is a very small area. Well come up with something yourself to try to save the non-terrorist occupants there?so you want to put 2 million civillians on a beach, then raze their country, all while not allowing any water, electricty or food in. yeah, can see the UN really getting behind that plan. In fact they could put up some barbwire cordons around the beach "for their protection". Yep, genius of a military plan, persecute an entire nation just to get a few because of the pesky population density getting in the way of a good bit of saturation bombing. This isn't civ 5 where you can go full scorched earth just to get rid of that pesky city state thats a little too close to your capital cities borders.........................
Oh good, because targeting innocent civilians (and using civilians as human shields) is what I have been criticizing Hamas for.You must be Olympic level at dodgeball.
I didn't say anything about Israel targeting civilians...
Mmm, let's see:I may have missed it in which case my bad but have Israel actually targeted innocent civilians?

IDF has enough resource to do a proper land based incursion and root out the terrorists. Considering that they ahve basically declared war they can mount a land assult without being accused of invasion, but that measn putting soliders in potnetial harms way and on their scale of life worth I am guessing that they would rank palestinian civillians a lot lower than trained military personnel so it's way easier to live with yourself on that basis alone when you turn a few thousand palestinian civillians to glass becasue hey they would probably end up being terrorists anyway................It was just an idea and yes, I know it's not great. And gaza is not a country, it is a very small area. Well come up with something yourself to try to save the non-terrorist occupants there?
Mmm, let's see:
Journalists clearly marked as Press
Doctors running to help the injured (taken out by Israeli snipers)
Kids with stones (really? bullets versus stones?)
Farmers defending their villages being flattened to make way for Israeli settlers
and **** loads of other stuff!
It's your claim. Google needs to be *your friend*.google is your friedn. IDF have previous for shooting stone throwing kids and also form for regularly detaining children as young as 6 for stone chucking
So what is your idea? That's a very long string of text that hardly makes much sense to me?IDF has enough resource to do a proper land based incursion and root out the terrorists. Considering that they ahve basically declared war they can mount a land assult without being accused of invasion, but that measn putting soliders in potnetial harms way and on their scale of life worth I am guessing that they would rank palestinian civillians a lot lower than trained military personnel so it's way easier to live with yourself on that basis alone when you turn a few thousand palestinian civillians to glass becasue hey they would probably end up being terrorists anyway................
Anyone targeting innocent people should be condemned.
I'm well aware of the actions of the Israel forces. If you are against that then be consistent and be against Hamas killing innocents too.
Oh good, because targeting innocent civilians (and using civilians as human shields) is what I have been criticizing Hamas for.
I have not criticized Israel for these things because I haven't seen evidence that they are doing these things.
Maybe look at a map?
Well, that explains why I am not a nuclear scientist. I thought the entire purpose was to generate an EMP without any significant actual explosion that is able to fry electric circuits without causing material physical damageWell, they do, but they have a side effect - they reduce humans to little piles of carbon.
Anyone targeting innocent people should be condemned.
There's been quite a bit of whataboutism though.you show me a post in here where anyone has said to the contrary. I might have missed it, but I don't think I have read anyone posting jsutifcation for the Hamas terrorists.
