    As opposed to what? Sitting back and quietly folding their hands in their laps while their children are mowed down by machine guns and blasted into dust by air strikes?

      They could surrender unconditionally. Like France did under Blitzkrieg. It doesn’t mean giving up forever, but it stops the worst of the killing for now.

          Yes, that’s valid. Just like Europeans colonizing the americas. Should native Americans be firing rockets as US civilians? What do you think would happen if they did?

            If US citizens were to this very day continually encroaching on the small amount of sovereign land they have left? Being complete open with their stance that they intend to colonize every inch of their homeland and oust them from the area entirely? Mobbing and killing native Americans, all backed by the full force of the national military?

            Yes. They ought to retailiate.

              Isn’t that exactly what Americans did do to their native population? How long has to pass after before it’s ok?

                It’s also what Hitler did. Guess what moron, genocide isnt okay no matter who does it. What was done to the natives was completely vile.

                You have been brain washed into thinking what is being done is actually defendable. You are basically this generations Hitlers youth.

                  When something was done multiple generations ago like the creation of Israel, I think it’s a done deal. Just like the take over of the americas by Europeans, or various wars of conquest in the past. It sucks and is horrible. But one has to move forward. I’m not condoning Israel’s current actions, but I think they now have a right to continued existence and to defend themselves (but with reasonable safeguards for civilians, unlike what they’re doing now). So to recap: what Israel is doing now is unacceptable. They’ve also done unacceptable stuff in the past. They’ve also had to defend themselves from unacceptable stuff done to them in the past. They are a stubborn bunch that are insanely over doing their revenge now - just like their many enemies would do to them if they could. It sucks.

                    Genocide isnt self defense. We know all the Israeli talking point and soft linguistic manipulations that come with it by now.

                    You are condoning their actions when you come to their defense. Stop defending genocide. Half your comments are you trying to make light of it.
