    I showed you that map comparing Gaza to the area inside the beltway.

    So, tell me, what suggestions do you have for Hamas? What tactics, or 'different choices' can they make? You still refuse to answer

    You seem eager to fight. This is not the border of Gaza and the people who disagree with you are not the IDF. If you want to fight you should go there. If you want to stay here you should try to have civil discussions with people that don't agree with you.

    I stated a fact, I am not his friend and he is not mine.

    Now answer my question so we can not just be civil but actually discuss as well haha.

    What tactical recommendations do you have for Hamas whereby they still may be able to end the illegal siege of Gaza?

    I guarantee you, 100% bet you every penny you have to your name that I could store all the contents of my entire house and my neighbor's house plus both of our cars plus my coworkers giant truck plus a tank plus an anti air craft gun inside the beltway area without it being next to a school.

    It is very possible that there are no military tactics that will ever lead to the end of the siege of Gaza. Hamas certainly will never overcome Israel by military might or terror. That much is certain.

    So I have no military tactics they can implement that will ever succeed and neither do they.

    The ones they are using don't work and never will work but it DOES lead to the death of children and innocent civilians which is their goal.

    Man what are you talking about? Nearly 2 million people live in Gaza. And it's 360 sq km. You clearly can't even begin to visualize that lol.

    Too many simpletons in D&D

    Hahah I don't think you're disingenuous. Though I do find your prejudice abhorrent, surely

    More insults.

    Are you saying that it is impossible to store weapons anywhere but next to schools, hospitals, etc? I mean hey, if every inch of Gaza is covered in schools and hospitals then ok.

    Do Hamas leaders sleep in schools? If they kidnap an Israel do they hold him in a school? Do they meet in schools? Do they eat in schools? Do they poop in schools?

    I get it that the place is cramped. Where are the members of Hamas right now? Whenever the schools where the rockets are stored get hit are they in there too because there is nowhere in all of Gaza except schools?

    What is my prejudice? Against Hamas? I guess I am prejudiced against Hamas. I am prejudiced against terrorists.

    My apologies for calling you a simpleton and assuming you have prejudices towards Palestinians, and maybe Muslims more generally. In a way, I was prejudicial towards you, you're not ATW.

    I really do apologize, you're entitled to your opinions yank.

    It is a massacre. It doesn't matter what I would do, I will tell you what I wouldn't do.

    • I wouldn't build more settlements
    • I wouldn't limit the Gazan's caloric intake per day
    • I wouldn't limit drinking water from coming into Gaza
    • I wouldn't allow my leaders to make comments such as "Rape Palestinians as punishment"
    • I wouldn't hang signs from cities that say "IDF, **** their (Palestinians) moms"
    • I wouldn't use a false pretext (kidnapping of 3 teens) to launch a full force invasion
    • I wouldn't shoot at civilians in Gaza that even dared to get "too close" to the Apartheid wall
    • I wouldn't scheme with neighboring countries to keep borders closed
    • I wouldn't continue to limit the distance in the ocean that Palestinians can fish.
    • I wouldn't shoot civilians in the head, those that are trying to recover dead bodies

    Oh, and I sure as hell wouldn't gun down 4 kids playing soccer at the beach.

    But then.. You wouldn't maintain an ethnic majority of Jews within a certain territory and then you wouldn't be able to defend your title as a democracy while maintaining the Jewish character of your state.

    I guess then you wouldn't have the support of moderate and civilized observers on whom your hasbara would no longer work.

    Just false.

    Tel Aviv: 5,050 person/sqkm, Tel Aviv urban density: 7,202 person/sqkm

    Jerusalem: 6,400 person/sqkm

    Gaza City: 9,982 person/sqkm

    What are your numbers? What other things have you posted inaccurately?

    That number might have gone down now that they killed off a good number of people.

    You didn't say Gaza City, you said Gaza and then u gave stats for Gaza (the pop of Gaza City is 500,000, not 2 million. Gaza city is not 360 square km). Tel Aviv and Jerusalem both have a population density greater than Gaza and the stats you mentioned (2 mil pop and 360 square km)

    whose being dishonest?

    Really? check these two countries out: USA and Israel, both have killed 100 and 10 times more than what 1 billion 'gross, violent' Muslins had ever done in recent 60 years.

    • Would you shoot thousands of rockets at Israelis?
    • Would you kidnap three Israeli kids and murder them?
