The Ultras need to be dealt with but at 1 million strong, that's nigh on impossible without military action by Israel.
With regard to the second phrase I've highlighted in red, you've really shown yourself up. Your sentiment seems to include a Palestinian tipping point of 'enough is enough' - let's fight Israel. But the barbarity of Hamas has no justification. You might as well be one of the 300,000.

It’s quite something to dismiss the highest level Jew in American politics simply because he recognises there is a gap between what Israel should be doing and reality on the ground.
