  > after Germany was bombed to the ground and occupied for years Well, looks like that box is checked for Gaza; can we jump to diplomacy now?

    Box is not checked yet, otherwise IDF wouldn't have any resistance. We should try diplomacy all the time, but right now the offer of Israel is unconditional surrender or continuation of hostilities. Maybe - maybe - less atrocious to civilians than what it was during March 1945 in Germany. Diplomats will keep their work; of course everybody's abilities are limited.
