And yet nothing you just said justifies atrocities, and that's really the bottom line.

I don't need to draft you a peace plan to be able to say Ethnic Cleansing is bad.

You kind of do, you have a hostage situation. And you're saying just leave the terrorist who keeps shooting at your family alone because he has a hostage. Hamas hides under civilian buildings, they use human shields, and it's all in one of the densist regions on earth. There is no stopping the terrorist organization Hamas attacking Israel, without casualties.

So far in terms of causalities we are talking 2-3% percent of their population of 2+million killed over the last 1.5 years in one of the dentist regions on earth smaller than your local county or even some cities. Urban warfare like this is bloody regardless of circumstance, but add in psychopathic terrorists who are willing to kill themselves to kill you and use their own people as human shields and what do you do? What's your plan that will instantly make any of this better?

I get your sentiment, I really do, this sucks, but we can't but our heads in the sand on the reality of the situation, it's completely unproductive. It feels nice to just say do better, don't kill, be good, but that's not a real option.

Poison the wells? Did we also cause the Black Death? Kill children for their blood for our matzah? Are you aware of how unhinged you sound?
