    Why are Hamas" captives called hostages and Israel’s captives called prisoners?

    Usually terms that equate to “leave us alone so we can plan our next attack on you” would just be laughed at. But for some reason, since the other party is Israel, I guess they’re monsters if they don’t accept. Complete Hamas surrender or nothing. Gaza needs to be “dehamasafied” a la Berlin 1945 (copied my comment from another similar thread)

        The US should probably lead that coalition. I don’t think the American political establishment has the will, or support, to do that however. We’ll see

          The U.S. needs to stay out of the Middle East. We have f’d it up enough over there.

              You have very limited, or perhaps zero, knowledge of how American foreign policy actually functions.

              We assassinate a leader we do not like, then install our own puppet leader, the populace ends up hating our installed leader. This causes decades of resentment and extremist factions, then we go to war with those factions in the name of freedom. Rinse and repeat until we have messed up the entire world.
