It's amazing that people are even questioning taking out Hamas... Do they actually not understand that the reason the children are in danger is because they have hesitated when Hamas has done this in the past - using the children as human shields?
What kind of absolute sociopath would trade the thousands of lives Hamas will take if they're allowed to live, just because they use the world's humanity against it?
When it costs one life to save millions and there is no choice because the evil Hamas has set this price, it must be paid.
Shame on Hamas for putting these children in danger. May they rot in hell for their horrifying, demonic and evil sin.
The problem is that Hamas is not just an organization, it's also the ideology of resistance to the Israeli occupation. You can't take out an ideology. Even if Hamas the organization is gone, another one will take its place.
The only way to take out such an organization is to eliminate the reason why it exists. It's definitely not easy, and it takes a lot of negotiations and goodwill, making amends and getting over a lot of bad history. But waging war is achieving the exact opposite of that, and only creating the conditions for future conflicts.
Well I think everybody knows exactly how to do that then, and it's the exact opposite of what's happening right now.
It's almost like Israel and it's supporters are shocked that a resistance movement formed in response to them murdering civilians and destroying homes of innocent families. Maybe it's not the moral response, but no one can claim to be surprised by it.
