I’ll second Frank’s question. Boy, portions of the American left insist on
Holding Israel to a standard no country would accept in the aftermath of the barbaric 10/7 attacks.
It is known that Hamas operates in and below buildings occupied and heavily trafficked by civilians. Their HQ is reportedly directly below a hospital they built expressly as a shield. There are endless complexities in the history of this region, and Israel is far from innocent in it all, but they are the party in this expressing concern about civilians. Hamas is targeting civilians, expressly. Those they slaughtered in Israel, and those they are hiding behind in Gaza.
The real issue is that Hamas wants as many innocent civilian deaths as they can possibly get Israel to give them. Which should give Israel some pause in fully expressing its rage militarily. Which it clearly has done. I’d love to see the world surprised by cancellation of the ground invasion. But it’s ridiculous to expect that under the circumstances, and literally any other country on earth would almost certainly have invaded already under these circumstances.
Not sure why you’d use silly exaggerations to paint Israel with the broadest black brush you can find, but interesting that you pulled 30k out of your hind quarters - that’s the number of casualties, roughly, we’d have suffered if our 9/11 approached Israel’s Oct 7. 10 times what we actually experienced. But Israel is in your crosshairs for some reason.
