Thanks general fender, you really knows how to handle warfare. I’ll make sure that your suggestion goes forward to the highest ranks in the IDF.
Again, lucky for Hamas that we are not USA, Russia or Germany
the "highest ranks in the IDF" already know that - unlike you apparently - but they decided that continuing their strategy of indiscriminately murdering civilians is better, because they tend to get away with it...
of course it's more dangerous and more difficult to do the right thing, but it would have been a chance to show the palestinian people that you don't just hate them and want to exterminate them, it would have been a chance to demonstrate that you're better than the terrorists. but obviously, you're not. so you just bomb and starve everyone. kill thousands upon thousands. much more than even the worst hamas terrorist could ever dream of.
child murderers...

RIYAD H. MANSOUR, Permanent Observer for the State of Palestine, said that for 10 days, the world has watched Israel assaulting over 2 million Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. Stressing that killing more Palestinians will not make Israel more secure, he recalled the many times he had appealed to the Council for action. “You now have important decisions to make,” he said, calling on its members to be guided by the rule of international law, with no exception or exceptionalism. The Council must not send the signal that Palestinian lives don’t matter, he said. It must not blame the victim, he said, adding that Israel has killed, as of now, 3,000 Palestinians, most of them overwhelmingly civilians, more than half of them women and children. More than 1,000 Palestinian children have been killed so far in this assault.
Palestinians, he continued, have been killed daily by Israeli soldiers or settlers for years now, and yet the Council always pressed them to choose peace. Now, at this pivotal moment, “why would this Council be unable to call for a ceasefire?” he asked. The humanitarian and health system in Gaza has collapsed, he continued, noting that over 1 million people have been displaced. People can’t even bury their loved ones and mourn them. Israeli officials said they were fighting “human animals,” he said. What would have been the Council’s reaction if any Palestinian official had done the same, he asked.
Highlighting three urgent calls — an end to the assault on Palestinian people; immediate and unimpeded humanitarian access throughout the Gaza Strip; and an end to the forced transfer of Palestinian people — he said that anything else would be legally, morally and politically unacceptable. “In the next hour, Israel will kill 12 Palestinian civilians, including 5 children. And then the next, and the next and the next, until you decide to act,” he said.
Reminding the Council how it insisted that Palestinians should not resort to violence, regardless of their legitimate grievances about the occupation, blockade, killing and mass imprisonment, he said that by the same logic, nothing can justify the killing of Palestinian civilians. Urging Council members to consider their own credibility and the deepening divide between the West and the Arab and Muslim World, between North and South, he cautioned of the regional and international spillover of the conflict. The Palestinian struggle will continue, he stressed, pledging, “we will not fade away.” Right is on the side of Palestine, he added.
