The IDF's solution to bank robbers holding people hostage would be to blow up the bank

When that mass shooter was in Uvalde they should have droned the school.

Better analogy would be the killer in uvalde using a kid as a human shield while also shooting into the other classrooms trying to kill other kids.

Do you shoot back or do you sit around like the cops did and wait till the killer gets bored, runs out of ammo, or runs out of victims.

Just look up how many thousands of rockets and mortars Hamas has launched at seemingly random targets in Israel since October 7th.

Sure, and then you bomb the school to kill them all. Also bomb all the surrounding buildings just in case.

The movie Blazing Saddles has a scene where the protagonists threatens himself as hostage. It worked. Movie Clip Not Censored https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTNJUjsNKVk&t=153s

The “rockets” you’re referencing aren’t the threat you’re trying to invoke. How many Israelis have been killed by Hamas rockets ever much less since October 7th? Maybe if Israel didn’t have a concentration camp outside of their city walls they wouldn't have to worry about the threat of retribution?

Better analogy is the Uvalde shooter also starved and killed kids in the school for generations. Then some of the starving children started throwing sharpened pencils.

Now, if only both parties would just cease firing for a moment. Has anyone thought of that? And if: has any governmet refused to offer/accept such ceasing of firing? /s

If you think you can get Hamas, an organization who states goal is to kill every Israeli, to agree to an abide by a cease fire, go for it. Their current track record speaks volumes to the contrary

[–] bufalo1973@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it's a better idea give Hamas new recluits /s

  1. Good job dehumanizing "the enemy". That way, you can legitimize any war crime. If you think that Hamas is such a non-human entity, why are the hostages not already considered dead?

an organization who states goal is to kill every Israeli

To be clear: I'm definetly not rooting for the authoritarian regime of Hamas. Their leaders should drown in the blood they spilled.

If that were the case, Gaza would be a flat parking lot right now.

[–] Spaceballstheusername@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you seen photos of Gaza?

Ok cool so you are retracting your comment then sounds good.
