> "They are bombing refugee camps" Are there terrorists in these camps? Are there tunnels under these camps?
Nope and nope.
> "Making extremely cruel and deranged TikToks in destroyed homes" This is war... Soldiers have dehumanized their enemies since the beginning of time.
They're dehumanizing civilians, including children. The last time we saw something like this was Abu Ghraib, and they didn't post that proudly on social media.
> What is Israel's other option?
Than to target civilians to take over the land, and hiding that behind the fig leaf of Hamas which was always preferred over moderates? As Smotrich said recently: "In the context of de-legitimization - Hamas is an asset (for Israel) and the Palestinian Authority is a liability."
I don't have to provide an alternative to genocide, ffs. It is not a permitted response to anything.
> this is a fight for survival for both sides
Nope, it's a fight for expansion for religious zealots, and a fight to stay in office and not be on trial for corruption for Netanyahu. Israeli society doesn't gain anything from this. Once this fully trickles down and the fallout is over, it will take decades for Israel to recover from this, if ever.
