I believe history has shown that total warfare until unconditional surrender has worked against genocidal regimes in the pastOf course not...but it is reasonable to take the real-time reporting with a grain of salt, we have all seen the media run with a false narrative in the moment, only to quietly retract themselves once the fog of war has cleared.
The Zionist propaganda machine has been hard at work for over a hundred years now…they aren’t entirely clueless, and they are certainly providing some of the “reporting“ that gets to us over here.
The problem isn’t one of justification…that’s simple: the Israelis are absolutely justified in their immediate response to the Islamist aggression. The problem is a long-term one…for every islamist they kill today, two will take their place tomorrow, and in a few years some other spot just on the other side of the Israeli border will look exactly like Gaza did last week.
…and that’s not even addressing the clusterfuck of territories and fiefdoms that make up the West Bank, or the whole Jerusalem problem.
It’s simple to start wars there. The complicated part is figuring out how to end them before they result in genocide.
