Your country was attacked by group of terrorists who killed thousands of civilians, raped women, kidnapped children, women and old people, run away and hide between civilians? 1. I would ask my government not to respond to this attack and begged terrorists to release hostages. 2. I would ask my government to kick ass of terrorists and those all who protect them. 3. I would believe to terrorists claim that they did not kill or rape any civilians and they kidnap women, children and old people to protect them from the war. Reading Political Forum posts I know which option some members of this group would choose.
You also know the right answer. Justice must be brought to Hamas. Obama let ISIS metastasize until we had Americans getting slaughtered on US soil. The IDF is bringing justice to Hamas. Civilization vs Savages. They have most of them contained within Gaza and a job to be completed. Getting the higher ups, the financiers and others who are out of country, well, I think we can trust Israel to deal with that as well. It has to be done. In the civilized world, we simply have to draw the line on folks who invade their neighbor and engage in a bloody orgy of rape and murder of innocents like Hamas did. 'Free Gazans' Seeks To Show How Hamas Harms Palestinians 'Over 1,400 individuals were killed and 240 were kidnapped during a series of Hamas attacks launched from Gaza against Israel on Oct. 7.' 'HAMAS, which is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement) was designated by the U.S. State Department as a foreign terrorist organization in October 1997' “the group is committed to armed resistance against Israel and the creation of an Islamic Palestinian state in Israel’s place.”
Exactly!!! An over charged angry emotional (over) reaction is not much better than what terrorists do. Action taken in response, must be intelligent and well planned with specific goals in mind. Military responses are not the best when dealing with terrorism. One is not responding to a country or region but an ideology..... so that has to be the paramount consideration.
You forgot one option, fondly embraced by many on this forum and worldwide: 4. Reward terrorists with a country, arm them, feed them, die for them, and disappear from this Earth for them.
