Can you imagine what might have happened in bibi just took the hit and tried to work it out peacefully?

I think they would just be emboldened to do it again, like they said they would. Sentiment in Gaza has only recently shifted to the idea that "maybe, it wasn't such a good plan". I'm afraid that in the long run, Bibi's reaction might turn out to be the best one for peace

I never said the jewish immigrants from Russia claimed the land was 'theirs originally'. It's a bit weird you make this jump. They were trying to find a place they wouldn't be genocided

And what makes you conclude that violent opposition from muslim fanatics prohibits the immigrants from being peaceful?

I'm not sure if you're really willing to open your mind on this, but the first large wave of immigrants were escapees from pogroms in Russia and they didn't 'steal' any land from anyone

neither I nor the person who originally used the word 'carpet' were claiming that israel was "carpet" bombing civilians

They literally are carpet bombing civillians

I agree that there would be unrecorded deaths, but I don't think Hamas has any reason to underestimate their number by a factor of five (5). There's still a lot of structure and quite a large (international) presence of aid and medical workers, and journalists. One can use numbers from food distribution or the polio vaccinations that would easily corroborate 10% 'missing' population.

I think you could write 100 comments but none of them would support your claim that Israel is carpet bombing civilians

Carpet bombing in WW2 wasn't called that because they dropped a large number of single bombs over a country over a large period, it was called that because it's a technique where you try to cover an area with a dense carpet of bombs all at once

I know, it's like Oprah giving away cars. But still, takes a special person to see that as an opportunity to scam them

Why would you need to lie about them carpet bombing civilians as proof for genocide if you're convinced that's the case without it?

I don't know about you but I never created Israel. The ones that invented and created it did so to escape bloodshed, so I don't think they're unwilling to pay the price

The normal definition of carpet bombing is dropping a 'carpet' of bombs over an area all at once. That's where the name comes from, anyway.

If you're just saying they dropped a lot of bombs, why would you want to call that 'carpet bombing' ?

Do you have any source on the carpet bombing you claim they've been doing for a while?

If Israel wanted to do a genocide, they could just roll out the carpet bombs and spread them over the refugee tent cities. They'd easily kill 50-100k every few hours. That way, it wouldn't take 50 years.

But in reality, we see 50-100 deaths per day. That just doesn't jive
