Only one side here has claimed that their goal is genocide, and that is Hamas.

And you still refuse to believe every single western intelligence service and instead post conspiracy theories cooked up by Hamas.

Your questions weren’t related to the topic we were discussing. They were ignored for that reason.

I could have sworn my questions were about Israel and Gaza and genocide……you know, the subject of this thread.
Your problem (and the problem for other apologists for the Israeli atrocities) is no one can tell us how they can “destroy Hamas” without mass murder of innocent Palestinian civilians. But y’all are OK with that because you don’t believe there are any innocent Palestinians. Just own it.
When Hamas builds terror tunnels under civilian infrastructure, it is essentially impossible to be able to strike those tunnels while avoiding collateral damage. I have said numerous times on here that Israel doesn’t care about Palestinian civilians while Hamas intentionally uses Palestinian civilians as human shields and martyrs to further its objectives.

Israel vows to stop aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza
According to a live tracker on the vessel, the Madleen was sailing north of the Egyptian coastal city of Rosetta on Sunday morning, roughly 300 miles from Gaza.
Israel vows to stop aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza
According to a live tracker on the vessel, the Madleen was sailing north of the Egyptian coastal city of Rosetta on Sunday morning, roughly 300 miles from Gaza.
“Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has vowed to block an aid vessel carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists from reaching Gaza, by “any means necessary.”
The Madleen departed Sicily last Sunday, aiming to breach Israel’s naval blockade on Gaza, deliver humanitarian aid, and draw attention to the worsening humanitarian crisis in the enclave.…”

I’ve been largely ignoring the so-called Freedom Flotilla as a stunt, though pretty disgusted by a lot of people openly wishing harm for Thunberg. It sounds like things may have come to a head and the Malden was turned back or perhaps the protesters arrested. Hard to know right now as it seems almost every source in this sideshow is a propagandist of one sort or another.
Bombing Hamas commanders hiding in underground terror bunkers isn’t just necessary, it is sound strategy.
Hamas doesn’t exactly keep its leadership secret. And those terror tunnels aren’t exactly open to Palestinian civilians.
That’s a literal suicide mission. Also, it takes days to plan such a mission whereas a bomb takes minutes. A ground mission would simply involve sacrificing soldiers to take out Hamas terrorists that moved to a different location hours to days prior.
Is this serious? We bombed the shit out of Vietnam. And Laos. And Cambodia.

We certainly did. And we had tunnel rats clearing out extensive tunnel networks. They had about a 30% casualty rate (5% killed and 20+% wounded.) My cousin was a tunnel rat and was seriously wounded. He’s 76 now and very active, fit, and doing well. He lives in Tidewater but spends most of his time at his house in Duck these days.

Gaza activists' aid boat with Greta Thunberg on board docks in Israel
Israel's foreign ministry has branded it a "selfie yacht", while Thunberg says she has been "kidnapped" after Israeli forces boarded the vessel.

They can’t. Wars are like that. Innocent people die.
