Well they’re not my “beloved”, I’m not Jewish, have any connections to Israel or have any skin in the game whatsoever, and I don’t believe they’re as white as the driven snow.

But they’re doing what they believe needs to be done, they’re trying to eradicate an Islamist death cult that bestowed one the greatest atrocities their nation has ever experienced.

But it’ll take more than unsubstantiated claim in a dodgy article.

That they have repeatedly failed to follow the rules of conflict?

Well what rules exactly? They’re fighting an insurgent guerrilla war. One where an apparent Palestinian civilian, can suddenly appear with an AK47 or IED.

They follow the rules more than HAMAS

And finally that their responses are and have not been proportionate.

I think Israel’s response as been wholly proportionate. If Israel wanted to commit a “genocide” and visit upon HAMAS and the Palestinian civilians that took part in Oct 7th (let’s not forget it wasn’t just HAMAS, Palestinian civilians and UNWRA workers participated in the atrocity) this would all have been over by Oct 10th.

I think they’ve prosecuted it as well as could be expected in the circumstances.

Better than I would have, as here’s my first post on this thread on Oct 8th 2023

Here is my first post on the thread, posted a few hours after Oct 7th

If I was Israel, I would completely destroy Gaza, just flatten it.

I know that’s what Hamas want, but i would give it to them in spades.

Give them 24hrs warning, then flatten it.

Should be simple questions for someone such as yourself to answer

There you go, I’ve answered them.
