    Israel isn’t “bombing stuff into oblivion”, they’re doing two things:

    1. Attacking subterranean structures with ground-penetrating (aka “2000 pound”) bombs, and

    2. Clearing a one-mile cordon along the border of structures so that Hamas attackers can’t do what they did on Oct 8, which was train and amass along the border fence in secret, hidden among the buildings and blended in with the populace.

    If your army has to cross a mile of open ground to attack your fence, it’s a lot more obvious when they start. One of the reasons they succeeded in “surprising” Israel is that they just were there right by the fence, for years, until it seemed “normal.” With the buildings gone, they can’t do that.

        Gaza doesn’t deserve buildings after Oct 7, but the Jews of Israel offer more grace to their enemies than I would

            Sure; it started hundreds of years ago via Arab colonization of Judea and Samaria.

            Or did you intend history to only begin once the Jews hit back?

                  The Jews are not all that great. The Jewish settlers in Israel have always been out to kill. Conversely, the Palestinians have always been pissed at the so-called Zionists who just started showing up and claiming land. Actually Settlers from Israel keep doing that illegal shot.

                    How could the Jews “show up” in a place they always lived?

                    You’re truly a moron.
