We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I asked you to define the laws of warfare, and you link to the Wikipedia page about collective punishment. I quoted the definition from Wikipedia. This fits that definition. I'm operating by your own rules.
That definition doesn't fit the scenario.
Let's see you articulate exactly how this is collective punishment.

You are trying to redefine the situation.
The situation is simple: Hamas declared war on Israel, and Israel is fighting Hamsas. They are not punishing anyone but fighting a war.
Israel's motivation isn't to punish anyone. It is to stop Hamas. Punishment has to happen for it to be punishment.
@wintermute_oregon well...motivation can be tough to deduce, I can see why some people might look at #Israel sideways. But, the #IDF is largely not doing anything outside the normal scope of war.
People who have not trained for war or been in war, often don't get how shitty war is.
Now after this is all done, I do think the US needs to pressure Israel into dealing with the issue.
I am not going to pretend I know what the solution is but we can't have these wars every few years.
My concern is no solution will appease all sides.
