    And the point of the phrase you replied to is that retaliatory strikes are endless (retaliate the retaliations) so everyone gets fucked up and the conflict never ends

      Sure but it doesn’t withstand even a moments critical thought.

      There have been retaliatory strikes in every war ever, yet all conflicts end eventually.

        The point is the endgame.

        If it is to strike back to stop the aggression even taking out the leadership… That’s one thing that can end a conflict.

        If you say it most go as far against the citizens of Israel as the IDF has gone against the citizens of Gaza, that degree of vengeance back and forth can never be reasonably resolved. Assuming the entire citizenry must be made to pay for the sins of the leadership is a road to ever escalating violence.

          That’s fair.

          I’m not really advocating for the slaughter of millions.

          Just frustrated like everyone else.

          There seems to be overwhelming support for Israel’s behaviour internally. I dislike the Israeli people immensely.
