Makes sense if their goal is to eradicate Hamas. Have to find and clear everything. That takes a long time, especially when tunnels are involved.

I understand what you're trying to say but let me ask you: If you live in a country controlled by a dictator where you can get put in jail for years or worse, killed. Would you bother even trying to protest? With that being said, what Israel is currently doing is the only way to free the people.

> I do think the vast majority of Gazans are just folks wanting to live their life the best they can before they die This might be the case but most likely isn't, where according to a 2013 survey (and likely even more extreme after years under Hamas rule), 84% believe that stoning is the appropriate punishment for adultery, among many other beliefs that would likely differ vastly from yours.

That would make sense, but in this case there is another part of the polls who back it up as "legit", and that is the fact that the poll was also done in the WB, in places controlled by the PA, and the numbers are pretty much the same, actually, the WB has even more support for Hamas, while the Gazan support went down but just by like 4-5 % (still a majority). If the polls were totally incorrect then there would be more disparity between the 2 sides of Palestinians, but it is pretty much the same.

We see that with the Houthis indiscriminately attacking shipping in the red sea. No gay rights. No women rights. No relgion rights. They want to create a muslim theocracy, something anyone who's against those things should oppose. Therefore, Israel has a right to defend itself from terrorists.

No not at all. Israel is trying to eliminate the security threat of Hamas. Israel is protecting themselves from further attacks. There is no Israeli intent to harm civilians. Something doesn't need an intent or punishment to be learned from. If you speed a car and crash into a tree while going around a tight bend, the tree was not punishing you. The tree had no intent. But you will still learn about the consequences of your actions from speeding. Gazans elected Hamas into power and support hamas. Those decisions to support hamas have led to consequential events for Gazans. They can learn from that, the lesson being don't vote for bad leadership who start wars.

I don't think you know what indiscriminate is. Artillery barrages are indescriminate. IDF uses air guided missiles and bombs that are aimed at a military target.

You know, fewer than one person per bomb (if true) actually proves the opposite of what the IDF has claimed, that their attacks are always carried out with precision. Fewer than one person per bomb means many bombs did not hit their marks.

A poll is only as good as the sample you get.

To put it another way, if I were living under a terrorist authoritarian regime I would lie to anyone coming to my door about my actual feelings for the regime because I can do more to oppose that regime as a living, free man than dying for the truth.

A better comparison is what the US did to Al-Qaeda. The US went ballistic on Al-Qaeda after 9/11 and slaughtered or renditioned them anywhere they could be found. Today Al-Qaeda is functionally extinct and their neutered leadership is hiding in Iran. That is what I believe Israel has planned for Hamas. As soon as open warfare ends the hunter killer phase will begin. Hamas will find very few safe places to hide and definitely not in Gaza. The US didn’t chase the Taliban into Pakistan and the Taliban waited patiently for 20 years until the Americans left to reclaim Afghanistan.

Pretty fascinating. Been diving into a few articles. Starting in and around 48’ it appears each of the successive conflicts between Israel and Palestine coincided with increasing pressure against Jews in the ME.

The Old Testament doesn't talk about hell. It talks about Gehenna, an actual physical place in modern day Israel where you can go to a day. The ancient Jews thought it was the most cursed place on earth, and having your dead body thrown into that place is equal is the worst fate you could get. (Jews to this day are incredibly concerned with the proper burial of their dead, so being left to decompose in a cursed place is as bad as it gets. This would be Jesus personal understanding of a place of punishment after death) Hell as the modern Christians understand it is largely from Revelations, (eternal torture with no pardon) the latest section of the bible and by far the most unhinged. It is basically just murder porn fan fiction staring Jesus as a genocidal maniac, written by some early Christian who had been ostracized by his community.

I think immediately resorting to 'it was probably aliens' is not necessary if you're already skeptical of major religions, for a few reasons. 1) There's lot of normal phenomena that looks really weird/ optical illusions and so on, that could be construed as miraculous. 2) There's an element of survivorship bias when considering major religions; for those that are the main faiths from antiquity, there's many novel religious cults that didn't survive, and many which emphasised miracles and following a singular figure. The worship of Sol Invictus, favoured by some in the Roman era could've developed into a monotheist faith, the [cult of Pythagoras](https://www.thecollector.com/cult-of-pythagoras/) and more such things I don't have the energy to search up right at the minute. >Sodom and Gomorrah turned to a pillar of salt?
