So, here is your totally naïve, armchair response to that comment- don't want we want people less emotionally tied to this situation to be proposing solutions?
Let more rational thought win the day?
The situation you described is terrifying, and important context. But AFC is proposing a solution for the long game, which in his view, will reduce this very situation from occurring.
Again, I get I don't have the experience you are portraying and that indeed makes me naïve.

I wouldn't mind that, if the solution wasn't just let one side keep firing. Do you realize that if Hamas knew for certain that Israel would hold fire if there were women and children at the launch site, they would put them at every launch site.
A while ago I saw a video published by idf of a terrorist running for his life, from the Israeli forces. As he runs away he runs by a boy. He was probably 6 or 7 years old. As he runs by he picks him up by his school bag and carries him with him. You know why? because he knew the soldiers won't shoot him with a kid in his arms.
Now it could be propaganda, and I would have a hard time finding that video, as I have seen it something like 10 years ago... but those situations do exist
