> you shoot anyone holding a gun that doesn't wear your uniform?

Most casualties have been civilians.


Most of them haven't been armed either, so presumably shooting everyone holding a gun not wearing your uniform is still a viable option.


do you know of any protracted war where this hasn't been the case? or even any urban war where the ratio of civilian casualties to combatants is as low as this current war?


It is still very wrong to kill people


yes, and hamas will do it over and over again until there is no Israel left if they are allowed to exist and Israel isn't allowed to shoot back.


Israel has killed 30 times more people than they've lost in the last few months. Can we stop pretending they are in some grave danger?

I do not think people are saying that Israel should not fight back

It is the total destruction of entire neighborhoods and of entire families. That is what people are saying that Israel should not do


Doctors and Nurses don’t carry guns?


is this a question? I'm not sure what you're trying to ask.


Well presumably they don’t wear your uniform

No. Or a gun.


that's very enlightening, thank you for your contribution. it has changed how I see things.


I don't expect anything would change how you see things.

Once you're justifying the murder of civilians including children aid workers and medics, you're too far gone.

Best I can hope for is a laugh at your expense.


that's a lot of words to put in my mouth. laugh away, it won't do you any good.

The two of you got into just the sort of flamewar that commenters are asked to avoid here, and most of all on a divisive topic like the OP. We have to ban accounts that do this, so please don't do it again. We've had to warn you about this kind of thing more than once before, btw.

If you haven't already, please see my comment at the top of the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40418956, as well as the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.


Sorry dang. I thought it was subtle enough to be the right side of the line. Will try to be more careful in future.

Hamas can just drop their guns and get new ones later.


they will be under a brutal military occupation for the next few decades after this war. Israel will control everything going in and out of gaza.


Like they do now, and has been doing for decades? Yeah, it will be like that plus like what they do in West Bank now.


i remember what it was like before this - suicide bombings several times per week.
