So? Israel is justified in attacking Hamas across all of Gaza. They've told people where to evacuate to so they can avoid the bulk of the planned invasion and associated fighting. But that doesn't prevent them from also attacking targets when necessary in other parts of Gaza.

If Israel was restricted like you suggest, obviously Hamas could simply move assets south and operate with impunity in the south.

And yet this did not save Wael Al-Dahdouh's family. He followed every order and evacuated his family. His wife, kids, and grandchild were wiped out in an airstrike in a refugee camp no less.

He handled it with immense maturity and dedication. He's back to work reporting on the war.

As I have repeatedly said, in a war of this nature large numbers of Gazan civilians will inevitably die. As long as Israel eliminates Hamas, this is unavoidable. If Israel fails to eliminate Hamas, large numbers of Israeli's will be killed by Hamas in the future.

Between those two options, obviously Israel is going to choose the option where Israli's don't get slaughtered again in the future. As they should. Hamas is evil and needs to be destroyed. Which means, killing or capturing the tens of thousands of Hamas soldiers and other members. Hamas soldiers alone are about 30,000 to 40,000 people. Those men need to be killed or captured.

They would need to wipe out the entire population of Gaza then, because otherwise all their actions are going to do (doing) is create the next generation of Hamas.

It's so obvious, it's hard to believe this isn't the intent.

Your comment was "So?" one post up. It's clear how much you value the lives of innocent humans. I know I'm breaking HN rules by saying this, but it's needed: you're a piece of trash for the way you support these killings.

What I and others in this thread are trying to point out is that the Israeli government's actions might be not as righteous as you're trying to portray. Is this just an attempt to wipe out Hamas or potentially also annexation of territory?

Holding a view that one side is villainous while the other is merely seeking justice seems fairly reductive.
