    If a teenager cuts in front of me in line at the movies, that doesn’t mean I have the right to burn down the entire movie theatre with a molotov cocktail.

    No matter how fun it would be

      What if it’s your neighbour firing random gun shots at your house for months or years, putting you and your family at risk of great injury or death? You have a rocket launcher - do you use it to eradicate your neighbour and keep your family safe? Or is that unjustified escalation and you’d just take random pot shots back?

        Well if the entire state of Israel were me, then Hamas would be a 14 year old who listens to Kanye. Edgy and annoying, but not dangerous. There’s no way Hamas can actually destroy Israel.

        Also Israel told the troops at the border to stand down and let October 7th happen.

          Doesn’t work like that. If people were taking pot shots at your family, you wouldn’t stand for it even if your whole country wasn’t at risk.
          And you assertion that Isreal let the Oct attacks happen on purpose is unlikely to be true at best, and more like ridiculous conspiracy conjecture.

              Yes that’s interesting. So who gave the order - there must be some kind of record. Or was is a mole, or Hamas making a fake call? Or were the soldiers making up an excuse as they had been lazy? Surely such an accusation should be followed up on as much as possible, but all we get is that one little bit of ‘testimony’ in a clearly biased article that blurs named sources with unsubstantiated ‘reports’.
              It might be true for all I know, but it seems very unlikely. If true, it’s very important to know where such an order came from. The people of Israel aren’t stupid - they wouldn’t stand for an intentional lapse in security. So what’s the real story? - why would such a huge accusation be a minor footnote?

                The people of Israel aren’t stupid - they wouldn’t stand for an intentional lapse in security.

                If they’re not stupid then how come Netanyahu is prime minister? The way I see it, the Israelis and the Americans are about equal
