This thread is rather fascinating because it literally represents the reason why the conflict will never end, and most if not all posters here don't even live in the legion, and there might only be a few people here with direct ties to the region.
I agree that the Israeli strategy is likely not a winning one, and I say that because scorched earth really never helped in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc, and for every 'terrorist killed' 5 more were made.
But a lot of people here, especially the anti-Israel crowd are extremely disingenuous in how they view the conflict, and make zero attempt to understand the complexity of a situation where Hamas has intentionally doing all the things it does well, including hiding hostages among civilian areas or in civilian homes, launching attacks from civilian areas, etc, etc in order to get Israel to attack those areas, inflict civilian casualties (which they then completely overstate), and then use the media, the UN and other worthless organizations (90% of post secondary students) to rile up anger against Israel.
So now we have Hamas supporters marching in the streets of Toronto and Washington DC literally calling for Joe Biden's head to be put on a stick, and somehow Israel is the biggest problem in the room.
Literally fascinating.
