    You did use the term "erase.". What about all the Palestinians living inside Israel.

    Obviously it sucks that people are dying, but hamas started the war FFS. They 100% knew it would cause huge civilian losses.

      If you think Hamas «started» anything, read up on the history. It’s a 75 year long illegal occupation.

      Israel stated the war 17 years ago, minimum.

      Blockades are acts of war.

      This argument is the adult equivalent of grabbing someone's hand and punching them in the face with it while saying "stop hitting yourself"

      You should be embarrassed for even making this argument.

        Israel stated the war 17 years ago, minimum.

        *18. The blockade started in late 2005. Just clarifying because Israel likes to claim that the blockade started in response to the scary Hamas government launching rocket attacks.
