    That definition doesn’t fit the scenario.

    Let’s see you articulate exactly how this is collective punishment.

        You are trying to redefine the situation.

        The situation is simple: Hamas declared war on Israel, and Israel is fighting Hamsas. They are not punishing anyone but fighting a war.

        Israel’s motivation isn’t to punish anyone. It is to stop Hamas. Punishment has to happen for it to be punishment.

            People who have not trained for war or been in war, often don’t get how shitty war is.

            Now after this is all done, I do think the US needs to pressure Israel into dealing with the issue.

            I am not going to pretend I know what the solution is but we can’t have these wars every few years.

            My concern is no solution will appease all sides.
