What is Israel supposed to do, though? Just let the Hamas attack go unpunished? I get that there's something between doing nothing and what they're doing, but I'm just curious what people think they should have done instead. (Realistically. Obviously leaving is no longer an option for them because all the people who live there.)

What do you mean unpunished? Based on the history of Israel and Gaza, the attack on Israel was the punishment. So beyond the fact dropping thousands of bombs is absolutely unacceptable, any lethal retaliation is not going to help the situation. It's an emotional reaction with devastating consequences.

This is the same excuse Turkey uses when people bring up Armenian genocide. If we think really hard and cannot find some in-between solution, does that mean the genocide is justified? Is it our job to, or are we even capable of, finding a solution? Is it not the job of politicians or some other professionals?

Instead of indiscriminately bombing thousands of people, maybe send in troops to clear out the areas they're concerned about?

I dunno why this is some crazy unthought of idea?

They should probably let the two million prisoners out of the giant open air prison.
