I'm just asking you to use some common sense- do you think IDF could accurately route 6,000 bombs to legitimate military targets within a few days? Are the estimated 11,000 buildings hit all Hamas buildings? Are the 92,000 estimated people who lost their homes (remember these numbers all come from the Economist, not Hamas or Gaza authorities) mostly Hamas fighters?
This matters because military power has to be used for a specific political objective for it to be effective. If Israeli bombing is effectively taking out Hamas fighters and equipment with minimal civilian casualties, that will help achieve their objective. If they are killing lots of innocent civilians and leaving them homeless, they will not accomplish their objective and in fact will only create further destabilization and more future violence.
I want Israel to be safe and Hamas to be eliminated, but I am afraid that the Israeli political and IDF leadership don't really have a good plan to achieve that and are totally fumbling this response.
+1 ProblemĀ is you make too much sense, that is not permitted.
