    For the cases when the Hamas are hiding in the same buildings as civilians (effectively using them as a human shield), what does the esteemed audience suggest?

      Let’s say for the sake of argument that a terrorist cell popped up in your town. Would be okay for the government to carpet bomb your town, including your house, to remove them? If not, how is that different from the scenario in Gaza?

        In this case the terrorist organisation is the de facto government and they just escalated an ongoing conflict into a war

        I understand you’re furious as many others here, but what exactly is it you suggest doing in this case?

      Don’t kill the human shield? You don’t kill the hostages in a hostage situation. Well, if you’re not Israel, at least. They seem fine with killing Israeli hostages as well and just blaming the other party for killing them by them not moving them out of the way of IDF bombs.

          You said …

          Hamas are hiding in the same buildings as civilians (effectively using them as a human shield)

          So handing out water and food wouldn’t just be to the few (if any) Hamas members hiding there.

          It would be a great help to the innocent Palestinians who are caught in the IDF’s crosshairs.
