    So should Netanyahu be assassinated too? My guess is the reaction would be a bit different! Seems to me the outcome here is the creation of a martyr and hero on one side, and the solidification of Netanyahu as the most popular politician in Israel and the crumbling of any opposition on the other. Oh, and a war that will simply continue in perpetuity or escalate.

    I think if Netanyahu were killed a lot more tourists and children would die.

    I get what’s wrong with your opinions. Your not good at thinking.

    I know you’re devastated by the loss of your hero. But rest assured, you’ll have more terrorists to pull for in the coming years.

    Oh, while we still wait—one year later—for you to show even the slightest level of remorse for the October 7 hostage's and victims of rape, torture and murder of your hero, where’s your outrage of the “apartheid” acts of other countries, like Nigeria?

    There’s nothing wrong with his thinking. It’s who he hates that is telling.

    I dont think it takes much thinking to know the Israelis would respond to a targeted assassination with more killing

    Exactly, killing one guy doesn't do anything (how many leaders has Israel killed over the years?), nothing changes, and more civilians are going to die. Perhaps that's a victory for you. Perpetual war is the norm for fascist states, and it will all come out of our pockets as US tax payers too.

    Here’s the lovely hate-excusing adjectives you love to use. Yet, again, not a word about the issues of “perpetual war” and “fascists states” in places with far greater death tolls and abuse, like Nigeria.

    Not a word about the Israeli victims of terror.

    This is a thread about Israel and you are changing the subject to deflect criticism, but it always seems to escape you that its US weaponry and a blank check from the government assisting the killing here. We dont have US politicians repeating ad nauseum that "Nigeria has the right to exist/defend itself" when confronted with a campaign of mass murder or some other atrocity. We dont have media and elites calling people racist if they criticize Nigerian government policy. No school is going to shut down a protest against Nigerian policy either and make a mockery of their supposed commitments to free speech over it. There are lots of terrible things that happen around the world, obviously, but you only seem to mention them when people talk about Israel though! Weird!

    You can only do it when Israel is the subject and think you are trying to make a point. Israel, at least its not Nigeria ... What ever helps you sleep at night.

    This is a no-win situation. A despicable terrorist is dead. Good. But we all know that Bibi the war criminal will not use this opportunity to negotiate an end to the war as endless war serves the purpose of keeping him out of jail where he belongs.

    Why do you engage with a known racist? He’s shown he hates Jews. Just laugh at him and move on.

    I try my best to give people the benefit of the doubt, particularly faceless posters that I don’t know. Maybe there’s a colorable argument that I may not have heard before.

    Sometimes, I just feel a need to expose it.

    Said it all along that the IDF has put on a clinic on how to conduct combat operations in densely populated urban areas. They are way ahead of us with this capability and their tactics will be studied and taught to those wise enough to understand. Maybe, just maybe Iran and their proxies will change their tactics and stop using human shields and hiding weapons in schools hospitals and residences and in the long run this operation will save lives and bring some peace to the region.

    This proved to be an effective strategy. Likely more effective than a large scale invasion would be.

    The idea that Israel needs US help when it comes to Intel on Hamas in Gaza is laughable. Israel evacuated over a 1 million people out of Rafa. You do not do that if you are not going in heavy.
