“It’s amazing, absolutely amazing. Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming 'Gays for Gaza'. They might as well hold up signs saying 'Chickens for KFC'. These protesters chant 'From the river to the sea'. But many don’t have a clue what river and what sea they’re talking about. They not only get an F in geography, they get an F in history.”

If I can be brutally honest, even I myself don’t know the name of the river and the name of the sea, although I have retweeted the slogan on my TL. I thought it meant Dead Sea or Red Sea, but that just saw on Google that it’s neither! Anyway, from a humanitarian standpoint we can simply say that millions of children are being killed that is wrong even if you don’t know the history and geography of the conflict. Even the ICJ has said it is wrong.
Regarding the millions of children point, why not tell the terrorists to return the hostages immediately and unconditionally, stop behaving like children and recognise the State of Israel? Terrorism has stopped in other places this way, and it could as easily stop in the Middle East, too. Any solution that doesn't recognise the right of the Jews to inhabit part of that area and have it for themselves is no solution at all, and anyone articulating any such solution is a charlatan and a fraud; yes, I am happy to argue about where the borders should be etc. and even support the Israelis being given a bit of a scolding if they ask for too much, but the slogan you quoted is a terrorist chant, and should be treated as such. I am also happy to argue about Arabs being given more rights and so on, but the world needs a Jewish state; the way they have been treated in the past (unending discrimination, humiliation, pogroms, holocaust etc.) entitles them to demand at least this from the rest of the world - to have a state for themselves.
hamas has recruited most of Gaza population including children as combatants
people will die, that is not surprising
Israel has every right to win the war no matter how many are killed
do you think World War II was won against nazis without killing them? How many died? Go read some
Hamas clearly states that it wants to commit a genocide in Israel, and Israel will preserve itself if necessary through wars that they win
If you are not an islamic supremacist who believes all the jews in Middle East must be killed its not hard to understand
Don't forget, supporting Hamas today emboldens some idiot in Kashmir to do the same things to our country. There is no context that justifies the existence of Hamas. Hamas must go. It will go and the price that must be paid will be paid.
