If what's happening in the region is unknown, then, the conclusion that is produced will, naturally, be flawed.
Sure. But is the death toll accurate? Is it true that innocent civilians including children are being killed?
If the only media that is consumed is curated to produce a specific reaction, then, I am not surprised when that reaction is produced.
What is the purpose? I consume a wide amount of media from various sides of the political spectrum. I am from the US, an ally and supporter of Israel. Why would US media spin a tale that helps Palestinians?
Given the complexity, bias and amount of propaganda, it is necessary to critically think about the situation, and I have to start at the axiom that killing innocent people is wrong and to be avoided. If I assume the death toll is at least somewhat accurate and that it includes children, I cannot defend the Israeli leadership in how they managing the the situation.
The reboot does not require that amount of killing, the Palestinians have created an environment which prohibits making the necessary changes without their own tragedy. They have been taught to intentionally seek out their own death. They have been promised a double-reward in heaven if they are killed by a Jew. A door was left open for them to flee to safety, but many of them have chosen to die, have chosen for their children to die, with their pride. It's their choice.
What about the folks not fighting? The civilians? Even if they have a death wish (which I see as unlikely), I don't think this changes the ethics of the axiom I am working from so I am unlikely to be swayed by that.
As I stated previously months ago. A ground invasion lacking the air assault would have resulted in many more deaths. The air assault would have occurred anyway. There are only 2 ways to prevent the tragedy. 1) Israel is not attacked. 2) The civilians temporarily leave the area as directed.
If israel is attacked, and the civilians choose not to leave, a lot of people are going to die.
Hamas was absolutely unjustified in killing and torturing innocent people.
However, you are suggesting that Israel is justified in killing more innocent people given that Hamas did the tragedy they did. Do you really believe that? That civilians (including children) who did not participate in the October 7 massacre deserve to suffer and die?
I cannot believe that myself.
If israel is attacked and it is used as a gateway for negotiations, then more terrorist activities occur. It's already happening. I'll see if I can find the story.
More terrorist activities will occur regardless. In fact, I find it likely that the October 7th massacre occurred in order to elicit such a response from Israel, thus gaining support and more recruits from the populace.
