We as Americans, and I say we to include myself as im also guilty of this, want to sit in our chairs and eat Fritos scoops with queso and drink beer, while judging Israel for what they're doing when we have never even come close to even the smallest particle of having to make the types of decisions they're making.

Last time I checked, we don't have rocket sirens going off here daily in the US do we? Oh that's right. We just have the luxury of testing them every once in a while to get the dust off.

Again, I'm not saying what they're doing is right. I'm just saying I don't think we get to play judge and jury against them when we have never had to respond to genocide touted by our literal next door neighbors.

And to those harboring the ones desiring and attempting to commit genocide? You don't get to cry wolf when Israel comes to kill those people and ends up killing you in the process.

Well, yeah.  Somehow, as I am not in the middle of it.

I bet a lot of the dead civilians were thinking about other things like where to get food, why they were being bombed in the place where they were told to go by Israel to avoid getting bombed, etc.

Israel has clearly used the Hamas attack as the reasoning to go in and wipe out as much of the strip as they can before the world says enough.  That isn't saying they had no right to respond.  That is saying that if we look at the entire situation, from Netanyahu aiding Hamas (or not stopping aid to them) so he had something to rally against to the level of death in the strip, that Israel has already "won" but they won't stop until they have done as much damage as possible.

And no, they will never rid the area of Hamas completely anymore than the US "defeated" ISIS.  There will always be more.  And wars like this just create more.
