Ah, I see. No, they're not that stupid. Even if nuking Gaza didn't affect them because of proximity, they wouldn't. They rely on American help too much, and struggle as they do with international forces. Nuking Gaza would leave them ostricized and heavily sanctioned, if not invaded.

I have so much to say over this comment. I'll try to be concise.

remove the blockade on Gaza, give everyone there citizenship and become a secular state

  • Israel doesn't trust Hamas. The blockade, which, mind you, is also enforced by Egypt, is meant to limit the group's ability to procure weapons. Water, food, fuel and other necessities are usually provided by both Israel and international help.
  • Neither Gazans want Israeli citizenship, nor Israel wants Gazans to be its citizens.
  • Religious and secular political forces quarrel in Israel daily. It can't just "become" secular. A big portion of Israelis don't want it to.

When has Israel not leveled civilian buildings? Have you not seen charts comparing Israeli casualties to Palestinian ones?

  • If not for Iron Dome, Israeli casualties would be way higher.
  • Any civilian casualties are to be condemned. Yet, you must remember that Hamas likes to base itself under hospitals, schools, mosques. Not only that, but Gaza is also very densly populated. They're some 2.5 million people over 365km squared. It's very difficult to carry out any strikes without damaging hundreds of people. Yet, in the 2021 conflict, only 260 Gazans died as a result of strikes, despite hundreds if not thousands of shellings. Israel claims that at least 200 of those were militians. If that is not surgical, I don't know what is.

I think Palestinians should be the ones who should be angry for the way Israel has treated them since inception.

Read a little about the history of the conflict, as well as about peace talks and different offers that Israel made.

I don't know, what does it matter? They don't even acknowledge it, nevermind about using it. The only instance in which they might use their nukes is the Samson Option, which looks like something any country would do.

This is Pig Poop Balls, which shows that this person disagrees with my opinion, to put it mildly.

The only thing I'm dissatisfied with is their free hand with bombing civilians along with military targets. I can understand that Israel is angry, and rightfully so, but they fancy themselves a western country, being better than terrorist Hamas. They can't let their anger take control. Bombing civilians undermines their legitimatecy, I think they should try and be as surgical as possible, like they did in previous rounds of fighting. Other than that, I fully support their desire to root out Hamas. Though conquering Gaza only has any merit to it if they decide to stay and govern it themselves, otherwise Hamas would just rise up again.

Isn't there a type of medusa that can "rebirth" itself and essentially live forever? Why can't we?

I don't think there is any "government approved" educational material about the kind of activities you partake in. Look up something like "advanced bdsm guide" on Google and absorb as much information as possible. This kind of information is shared from experience only.

Imma add TrackerControl to those already mentioned in other comments.

I see. I'll think about it, thank you for the insight, and the kind words :)

I don't think I have trouble understanding my emotions, but I probably really do suppress them. As of now, my normal coping mechanisms work fine, and I don't see the need to fix this specific one. Maybe one day I too will have the urge, and then I'll see what I can do.

If I may ask, has therapy helped you? Did you manage to cry?
