Now move forward: to eliminate Hamas, what should Israel have done?

It really is pointless bleating on about the civilian deaths other than the fact of how sad it is.


You’ve been told - terrorism as an idea or a concept can’t be eliminated. As commuters who jump onto major transport infrastructure in any major city know.

The “objective” is the straw man at the centre of your entire argument.

There’s a huge range of methods which Israel could strike at the heart of Hamas capabilities and its leaders over a longer term than razing Gaza to the ground in 60 days.

We reject the entire premise so grounding your questions firmly within it is flawed.
