Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

So if you were in New York and a building had some terrorists holed up, what do you do? Surround the place, then offer a chance for all to come out. If they won't come out send in swat teams. With the idea being, find and stop the terrorists not kill everyone.

No. You are describing a police action. War has collateral damage. What you do is blow up the building, killing everyone in it - whether you allow anyone to exit or not - so that the terrorists will not repeat their terror.

Anyhow, the thing is to root them out of the people, not blow up the people.
Wrong. You keep thinking in terms of a police action not war.

Collateral damage cannot always be or should always be avoided. So
Sometimes collateral damage IS the goal, such as strategic bombing.

Not sure the post 911 US is any good example.
Foolish. Don’t learn the lessons of history. Repeat the lessons of history. The lesson is not post 9/11 but the proper policy was war against terrorists BEFORE.

15 I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them," Says the LORD your God.

Israel is back to stay!
No, sorry. He will only plant them after they accept Jesus in the end. Israel is in for severe judgment.

A real effort should be made. Blowing up their apartments and killing fleeing convoys is not that effort.

Hamas did not blow up apartments with people Stop the denial, we know who is doing that. The terrorists lay dead in the streets before they started bombing the apartments, no? Now if you think there are some bad guys in your little prison compound strip, then get them. Not blow up apartment building all over the place. I have to tell you this??
JERUSALEM (AP) — Backed by a barrage of rockets, Hamas militants stormed from the blockaded Gaza Strip into nearby Israeli towns, killing dozens and abducting others in an unprecedented surprise attack during a major Jewish holiday Saturday. A stunned Israel launched airstrikes in Gaza, with its prime minister saying the country is now at war with Hamas and vowing to inflict an “unprecedented price.”

In an assault of startling breadth, Hamas gunmen rolled into as many as 22 locations outside the Gaza Strip, including towns and other communities as far as 15 miles (24 kilometers) from the Gaza border. In some places they gunned down civilians and soldiers as Israel’s military scrambled to muster a response.

Gunbattles continued well after nightfall, and militants held hostages in standoffs in two towns. Militants occupied a police station in a third town, where Israeli forces struggled until Sunday morning to finally reclaim the building.

Before daybreak Sunday, militants fired more rockets from Gaza, hitting a hospital in the Israeli coastal town of Ashkelon. The hospital sustained damage, said senior hospital official Tal Bergman. Video provided by Barzilai Medical Center showed a large hole punched into a wall and chunks of debris scattered on the ground of what appeared to an empty rooms and a hallway. There was no report of casualties.

Israeli media, citing rescue service officials, said at least 250 people were killed and 1,500 wounded in Saturday’s attack, making it the deadliest in Israel in decades. At least 232 people in the Gaza Strip were killed and 1,700 wounded in Israeli strikes, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. Hamas fighters took an unknown number of civilians and soldiers captive into Gaza.

The conflict threatened to escalate with Israel’s vows of retaliation. Previous conflicts between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers brought widespread death and destruction in Gaza and days of rocket fire on Israeli towns. The situation is potentially more volatile now, with Israel’s far-right government stung by the security breach and with Palestinians in despair over a never-ending occupation in the West Bank and suffocating blockade of Gaza.


Why do you think Hamas are good guys?
