Palestinians say this war is robbing them not only of their loved ones but also of the funeral rites that long have offered mourners some dignity and closure in the midst of unbearable grief. Israeli strikes have killed so many people so quickly that they’ve overwhelmed hospitals and morgues, making the normal rituals of death all but impossible.

Overflowing morgues have compelled hospitals to bury people before their relatives can claim them. Gravediggers have laid dozens of unidentified bodies side by side in two large backhoe-dug furrows in Gaza City now holding 63 and 46 bodies, respectively, said Mohammed Abu Selmia, the general director of Shifa Hospital.

By killing thousands of them?

That's the price you pay for getting rid of a dictatorship.

if Israel wanted to help the Palestinians there are a million positive things they could do to get rid of hamas

And that would be? Please be the first to answer the unanswerable question that every Palestine supporter just loves to dodge.

Some of you may die, but that's a price I am willing to pay? Terrible terrible take.

First to answer? Far from it, unanswerable? No, build bridges, don't bomb them. It's not being dodged by anyone.

What's the alternative? Being stuck up with Hamas forever?

Build bridges with whom? How is that going to stop Hamas? You are providing the same useless non-answer as anybody else. Hamas is still shooting rockets at Israel. How do you stop them?

So I provide a potential solution and you hand wave it away, your solution is to destroy gaza kill thousands of Palestinians, leave the survivors in rubble with no water or food. Wipe your hand, and pat your back for a job well done? This won't destroy hamas, and it would be foolish to think it would.

I repeat myself: How is that going to stop Hamas?

Your "solution" is not much of a solution when it completely fails to address the problem at hand.

Hamas killing over 1000 Israeli's and shooting thousands of rockets at Israel, in case you missed it.

Yawn. As predicted, yet another one without a solution to the problem.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No I have one, but it doesn't fit your narrative so you dismissed it, your solution is to kill every last Palestinian because they are or could be hamas. Yawn, predictable.

Way to misrepresent @lloram239 's position. The solution they are defending is to depose Hamas by military force, not exterminate every civilian on the other side. Genocide is Hamas' position regarding Israel as per their original charter, not the other way around.

build bridges, don’t bomb them.

Israel tried that when they unilaterally withdrew and allowed Gazans more economic freedoms. This autonomy was used to launch the most recent massacre.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Economic freedom by caging them in the strip? Controlling every point of entry and exit? Controlling water and gas that can come in and out? Odd way to "allow freedom"

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That never works, there are always more, im not misrepresenting their point. That would be the only outcome. Kill Palestinians to get to hamas, bomb and destroy their homes and hospitals, and schools to get to hamas. If Israel wanted to kill hamas with military means they wouldn't need to destroy North gaza to do so.
