You said Israel can’t defend itself, it clearly can, even if it’s expensive to them
But instead, for whatever reasons, it’s choosing to attack
To me it’s clear the end goal of their attacks is not peace but rather domination and eviction
Also, this is not a war. This a genocidal massacre brought on by Israel on the Palestinians, and has been going on for decades all over that area. Gaza is just the main focus right now, but they are still slaughtering people in the West Bank
Israel has always chosen that path, and they probably feel it’s served them well, they’ve gained plenty of land. But they also kept the conflict alive, including Netanyahu and his party explicitly supporting Hamas to undermine peaceful Palestinian political movements
- CydeWeys 3y agoThis reply just restates all the same falsehoods and doesn't actually address any point in my comment. You don't understand the limitations of Iron Dome, you don't understand the nature of defense (it means killing the people launching rockets at you, not merely shooting down some of the rockets in perpetuity while some get through and kill your civilians), and you don't understand the nature of war. Let's try a really simple metaphor. I'm repeatedly shooting at you. I'm a shitty marksman, so many of my shots miss, and you're wearing body armor, so some of the shots that do hit you don't penetrate. But I'm going to keep shooting until you're dead. Are you going to just stand there and let me take shot after shot after shot until one connects with your flesh, or are you going to do something about it first? Oh, and you're holding a much better and more accurate gun than I am, and I'm unarmored. You can drop me with a single shot at any time.
