The native tribes mostly did have gunpowder by that point, they were very motivated to trade for rifles and ammunition and the US government sold them rifles and ammunition through the Indian Agency.

Lmao I'm not going anywhere. Be mad

Proportionate response only works when anyone in Gaza cares about proportions. Hamas is on record being willing to sacrifice their entire population in their quest to kill as many Jews as possible. I don't think this war they started is going to end until their capacity to make war is ended.

Fuck around, find out. This is the find out stage.

Oh, also, the numbers on civilian casualties in Gaza are sourced from Hamas. So, they're worth about as much as used toilet paper lmfao

Hundreds. One would be too many, as they are perpetrated by the official government of Gaza.

It doesn't matter. A defense is a defense. You can't be stupid enough to seriously think they should just sit there and accept being under constant attack because the attacks aren't very effective.

Okay? What, am I supposed to say that the people supporting genocidal lunatics aren't doing that because they have a shitload of kids? How does that change jack or shit?

Or do you think Israel shouldn't defend themselves because the people relentlessly attacking them have a bunch of children? What is the path towards Hamas no longer launching rockets and attacks at Israel?

A few miles. Gotta reach the rocket sites somehow. Or do you think they should just sit there and do nothing while genocidal lunatics lob rockets at civilians

Yep, exactly. And the Arab exodus from Israel was largely in collaboration with Arab military authorities, people trying to get out of the conflict zone so they could reoccupy after the victorious Arab armies drive the Israelis out.
