“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    You’re right, so let’s just declare everyone in Gaza Hamas and bomb everyone. Right? Isn’t that Israel’s current policy?

    Hey, why don’t we speed things up and nuke the area. Wouldn’t that be more efficient?

    Killing civilian children is not an appropriate response to terrorism.

      And what, according to you, is the best response Israel could make to an unending string of terrorism?

        What unending string of terrorism? Before Oct 7, when was the last Israeli killed or injured by Hamas?

        But to answer your question, the best response is securing the boarder and asking yourself “what could be the motivation for these attacks?”. It’s to try and seek/broker peace.

        I’d suggest reading up on the IRA and the good Friday agreement to see how a government can end an unending string of terrorism. A relentless show of force is how the US created ISIS. That’s what Israel is doing right now.
