In that case stop being so dramatic and leave the moderation team out of it.
You asked a stupid question implying that the only viable option for Israel is genocide?

Limiting the question to "viable" choices means I'm asking for a course of action that will not result in the collapse of the government or be insufficient to prevent another Oct. 7 or similar event.

You just can't help yourself can you.
You're basically implying Genocide was the only viable choice they had to prevent another attack and government collapse.
Genocide is a necessity to maintain the tennability of Israeli decision makers?

What response? That's already been answered.
A response that doesn't include the deliberate murder of children.
The deliberate murder of health care workers, press....
Destruction of hospitals, universities, etc
All stuff that you seem to be implying is unavoidable and Israel's only viable choice.
They had no viable alternatives but to deliberately murder all those children?

No one was ever expecting zero civilian deaths.
Again you need to explain how there is no viable choice other than (give one example) shooting a child out in the open?
It's necessary to deliberately murder children to prevent the collapse of the Israeli government? Do explain.

It's the MAGNITUDE and the deliberate murder that's got people a bit riled up.
Oh and that they're committing Gen-o-cide.
But it's all necessary to prevent the collapse of the Israeli government.

It's an attempt to defend genocide as something necessary and unavoidable.
