    Tishby said: “One side is a democracy and, like any other democracy, it’s a flawed democracy. The other side is a jihadi genocidal organization that is fully committed to your annihilation.

    Oh, pardon me, if y’all voted for genocide then that’s completely different, good point.

      I think your quoted text is an excellent and succinct point, and absolutely true.

      In the democracy, there is hope for lasting human rights for tens of millions of people.

      Hamas has no future. It would be a lot cooler if they stopped using human shields but your sympathy is part of their strategy, that’s why those civilians are dead.

        Those civilians are dead because the IDF killed them. It’s really that simple. Being human shields doesn’t mean you can bomb them. Asshole.

          I agree you can’t just bomb people because they are standing next to a military target. You have to warn them first.

          Such as by calling them on the phone, sending texts, air dropping leaflets, and firing warning shots, all of which the IDF does.

      A self-defense military operation against insane terrorists is not genocide in any way.
