    I don’t need the exact numbers to know how bad the situation is. I have a couple of questions for you:

    • Do you agree that the civilian casualties on the Palestinian side far exceed those on the Israeli part?
    • Do you agree that a large chunk of the population in Gaza is displaced and currently living in makeshift tents?
    • Do you agree that there is an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza?
    • Do you agree that there is increased violence and imposed restrictions in the West bank by the IDF, and that far right settlers are persecuting Palestinians and killing them.
    • Weren’t there members of the Israeli parliament calling for nuking Gaza, to do the same in the West Bank, etc?
    • What about illegal settlements, land grab, numerous human rights violations, etc.

    I also want Hamas gone, but don’t think this is the way.

      Yes, there is all that. As I said, I think Netanyahu and his bunch belong in jail, not in power.

      But even if this guy is out of the way, here’s a few more questions to consider:

      • Do you agree that after Oct 7th, Israels strategy of building a wall and an “iron dome” must be considered totally failed?
      • Do you agree that the Hamas can not be talked with?
      • Do you agree that in addition to the Hamas, Israel is surrounded by militant groups that want to erase the state from the map?
      • Do you agree that in the past no palestinean negotiator honestly considered a 2-state-solution?

      What are, positively speaking, Israels options? What should a moderate follower of Netanyahu do to achieve some sort of piece? I’m lost here. Do you have any ideas other than saying “not this way”?
