Terrible, because everyone knows that Hamas was only focusing on military targets on Oct. 7th.

If Canada's military paraglided over from Windsor to Detroit, killed and raped 1200 innocent civilians, paraded dead bodies through the streets to the cheers of thousands of people, then took 200 innocent civilians hostage and placed them in tunnels underneath highrises in Toronto, do you think the US would be like "oh darn I guess we just have to take the L, gg Canada"

Don't do terrorist stuff and then hide underneath civilians if you don't want civilians to be killed I guess.

Your example wouldn't excuse the torture and extermination of all Canadians

Ah yes, the best solution to anti-terrorism: genocide.

Lol it's pretty obviously not genocide, it's war. Less people are dying of starvation in Gaza than in nearly every single third world country in the world every day. But when you have people who will call deporting illegal immigrants genocide, I guess genocide means pretty much anything these days.

If it was actually genocide, they probably wouldn't be dropping roof knockers and leaflets half an hour before an actual bomb drops. Or, you know, they would actually be trying to exterminate the entire population.

Save Gaza from Hamas

Ignore the whole genocide claim.

I wish the goal was to really save Gaza from Hamas. But it's not. It's clearly land annexation. Any heroic claim of helping Gaza is typical state media propaganda that is used in every war in history.

The goal is to prevent terrorists from killing and raping innocent civilians again. Literally yesterday Netanyahu said that if Hamas returns the hostages and disarms they will stop the attacks. Been that way for over a year.

Why are people so hell-bent on saying the country who's hostages are being held by a terrorist organization are the ones who need to stop fighting? If everybody who so rabidly wants this war to end supported the removal of Hamas they would have saved thousands of lives and prevented an Iranian proxy from spending billions of dollars lobbing rockets into population centers instead of, you know, help their civilians.

Makes no sense.

I've personally had a family member die from a Hezbollah bombing and I would NEVER seek vengeance tenfold. The west has been murdering people and destabilizing govts in the middle east since they first "discovered" it. We started the problem.

You wouldn't do anything because you can't do anything. You're one person against a terrorist organization.

Sucks about your family member, sounds like Israel has directly done you a favour!

Nope, they are creating the violence that will fuel the next attack, absolutely shameful.
