    Ultimately, they can only evacuate so many times before you have to bomb them out of the entire country, which let's face it, is the ultimate goal here.

    Also they don't die if Israel doesn't intentionally bomb the hospital, but uses other means to get rid of the Hamas HQ.

    Again this is very simplistic and continues to betray a lack of knowledge. Your argument would be to leave critical patients behind to die. Something that medical professionals won’t do and in some cases ethically can’t. This is why even in the US during natural disasters there are situations of hospitals not being completely evacuated.

    Also Gaza isn’t like Houston where you can evacuate Katy. Heck as we saw with hurricane Rita it’s not easy to evacuate millions and then bombs weren’t dropping.

    Gaza is one of the densest places in the world. On top of that Israel is bombing Southern Gaza even as they tell people to evacuate to there.

    I absolutely blame Hamas for hiding out in hospitals and schools. They care more About killing Israelis then they do the lives of Palestinians. Who I don’t blame are civilian doctors, nurses and patients for not evacuating or stopping Hamas from going into their hospitals. They are victims caught between Hamas and the IDF.

    Look, buddy, if you don't like being in a hospital in a warzone, you should just choose a different hospital that is not in a warzone.

    openly advocating for genocide...holyshit. I hope he's the "ex" minister because of these views...but if not the irony in what he said and hate behind it thats what it takes to bomb civillian encampments

    You know what would be great, there were some combination of hospital and ship that we could put people on and just sail them out to sea away from the bombing. Of course, that would require the existence of both a coastline along the Gaza strip and some sort of hospital ships, so that might be crazy talk.

    Yeah because Palestinians have their own hood. It's called Palestine. Shouldn't be that difficult to understand.

    No they don't that is Canaanite land.......

    And it's not difficult to understand the rest of the Islamic world views them like they are the gypsy class.

    Oh sure it riles them up for their fake outrage, but don't let those dirty Palestinians in their country.....

    We do, we let Ukranians, Palestinians, Russians anyone in, if they apply through the channels, we are a free country.

    We need more immigration - personally, I would not want any religious people as I find that offensive, but meh, that is just my quirk.

    The USA is hardly perfect but it is far better than most. I mean didn't your family come here?

    They won’t die if you don’t bomb them. This ‘beam them up, Scott’ thinking is hubris and so typical of a simplistic mindset.

    You know what would be great? If the Palestinian people would just disappear. That would make a lot of people in here happy.

    We have tons of "Palestinians" living and thriving in the United States. My high school biology teacher was from Gaza. I know a defense attorney who says he is Palestinian as well (I don't know where exactly he immigrated from). I think we should certainly invite all of the doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, chefs, teachers, programmers, botanists... anyone with a marketable skill, to immigrate to the US. I am sure there are other countries that would also like to have a young population motivated to work immigrate in reasonable numbers for any number of jobs. China has enormous cities that are just sitting empty. The people living in Gaza have shown that they cannot peacefully coexist with Israel and that they cannot defeat Israel. Either they continue with the status quo, which doesn't seem to make them happy or provide them with any real shot at a future, or they should move on.
    It is simplistic to say Israel should not bomb Hamas. Not only is it simplistic, it is stupid and evil. They should ruthlessly destroy every member of Hamas that does not surrender, using the means least likely to result in IDF casualties (ie bombing and bombardment).

    Are you suggesting Israelis should move to empty Chinese cities? That's anti-Semitic.

    I don't understand how you target a civilian area (a refugee camp no less) just to take out one guy.


    "They should have moved to the south of Gaza if they wanted to avoid this"

    "Aren't you bombing the south of Gaza as well?"

    "War is hell!"

    I'm worried about israel at this point because they have/are going about this with such incompetence (as their creation hamas has greatly illustrated) that the surroundings countries will be forced to enter at some point. The US can help, but if china/russia go in with Saudi blessings and the promise of future strategic partnership (as is being reported by some outlets) the balance could really be ****ed
