Yes, this is exactly the question I have been asking. In pursuit of the terrorists, how many dead & injured civilians is "too many"? Some are content to sanction an unlimited number but most people have more humanity than that.

I think this has gone too far. The UN, led by the US, should go in and establish safe zones that are, and are seen to be, Hamas free. This would provide a clear segregation and provide a place for people to live, with provision for food, water, power & medicines while the ongoing conflict plays out.

That doesn’t give the IDF cart blanche. Whilst the use of human shields doesn’t prevent a target from being attacked they’re are a myriad of considerations that need to legally be taken into consideration before doing so.

Where is the evidence to support that Israel has done this? And them saying ‘we’ve done it’ isn’t evidence

You and others rhetorically bleat about Israel's military mission and wholly dodge the question that must then arise. How else can Israel eliminate Hamas? That is the real question.

You lot are useless.

So, only aggression directed to Palestinians in Gaza counts ? Is that what we’re saying ?

The real question you’ve been ignoring throughout is whether the massacre of tens of thousands of civilians, razing to the ground entire communities and the destruction of hospitals, mosques and other infrastructure is a price worth paying for a goal that’s unachievable.

Israeli aggression towards Palestinians doesn’t just occur in Gaza as long as it continues in other areas then that will give Hamas et all the other crackpot nut jobs an excuse to continue.

There are elements of the israeli population who have used this latest part of the conflict to increase land grabs
