On the other hand, the innocent Palestinians are NOT suffering as a result of Hamas’ actions. In the real world, they are suffering at the hands of the Israeli Nation State.
A Nation cannot hide behind a criminal. Cannot deflect its own deadly role by exonerating itself, like a child, based on “retaliation”. Doesn’t cut it in the adult world. Sorry.
There are one hundred options, other than “pummeling” Gaza. Really, there are. Reminds me of the Viet Nam war, wherein the US bombed the shit out of – South Viet Nam!?!?! The people we were trying to defend? Nothing stupider in all history.
