If you only criticize civilian casualties when Palestine resists, then your concern isn't civilian casualties. Your concern is Palestine resisting massacre. (lemy.lol)

Hamas isn't resisting they snuck uo on civilians to murder women, children, the old, and the crippled and took over a hundred hostage to slowly slaughter on video live before the world.

Where are the Palestinians resisting this behavior. No society would tolerate a neighbor doing that.

A good time line would have Israelis and Palestinians working together against monsters instead of killing each other but the honest truth is that the majority of Palestinians support terror like the majority of Israelis support displacement of the Palestinians.

What do you propose Israel does? Shall we begin an era of endless terror by proving it works?

Just look at the US military, we already have

This isn't a good reason

I felt just like this after 9/11. I don't know enough about your country to tell you what the right thing to do is. But I wish that the USA could go back in time and just gradually assassinate Al Queda with the CIA instead or something. Those occupations were doomed from the start.

The CIA is literally the reason the Al Queda exists. has consistently been the biggest force funding and training terrorists groups around the world. Al Queda is just the modern iteration on the Mujahideen whom US was propping up in the 80s.

Yup. Listen to the latest season of Blowback podcast. CIA sheltered/evacuated a bunch of Al Quaeda leaders right before the invasion of Afghanistan began.

The US government at the time did not want to do any such thing. Project For A New American Century, the think tank most of the Bush administration officials came from, openly wrote about how they were hoping for a "new Pearl Harbor" they could use to take the US into war with Iraq. Later, President Bush got a memo about how Al Qaeda was going to attack the US mainland and he did nothing. Then 9/11 happened and the government lied the country into a war with Iraq. What part of this makes you think they were going to do anything about Al Qaeda (other than giving them more funds maybe)?

You're right, I wish they had done the opposite.

Would've been living in a better world. (Cue that one Al Gore alternate reality SNL skit.)
