Why do you think those people would have survived six months of sustained bombing?

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

If they cared about negotiations, they would have kept them save. Which apparently they don't. Now they don't have any leverage.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

Kept them safe how? Do they have force fields?

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

They kept themselves safe. There are bunch of tunnels or they could say here's a hostage here don't bomb this place.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

If Hamas is able to keep themselves save from six months of Israeli bombing, maybe Israel shouldn't have spent six months bombing Gaza and killing over 10,000 children.

So based on your own claims, Israel is far better at killing innocent people than Hamas could even hope to be.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Maybe they shouldn't have kidnapped and killed people in the first place if they didn't want retribution.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago

They are not getting the retribution based on your own claim.

Unless you think those 13,000+ children are all in Hamas.

Am never going to try to justify civilian deaths, because there's no justification. But the fact is if you kick hornets nest you'll get stung. You can't expect any country on this planet to ignore such an attack because if they do, they risk allowing such attack to repeat.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

You say there's no justification and then you justify it in the next sentence by implying that it's Hamas' fault that all of those innocent children died.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Am not justifying am pointing out it's an expected outcome. I never said it was warranted or said it was okay.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

Why should over 13,000 dead Palestinian children be the "expected outcome" of far fewer dead Israelis and far, far fewer hostages? Because that still sounds like a justification.
