Norway’s prime minister says the Israeli army’s response to the deadly Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people and saw over 230 abducted by terrorists has been disproportionate, and denounces a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza.

    The comments on that article are really missing the point that leveling a city block to kill a few terrorists almost invariably means you created more terrorists than you killed.

      That is certainly one point and how we are, still Here after decades. Another point is that if you do that, you have become the bad guy.

      Is this the only thing that troubles you? Hamas creates terrorists anyway. Palestinians are being told they need to kill Jews in order to become heroes, which will get them money they really need. It’s not much different from Russia where people are led by propaganda but ultimately decide to abandon peaceful life for a chance to get big money.

        Palestinians are fighting for their land and their freedom against a war-crime-comitting occupier.

          Whatever that “fighting” involves, it doesn’t seem to work well for them, does it? Why would you stub yourself with a knife if you want to cure a flu?

            Are you suggesting that they shouldn’t fight for their land and freedom?

              Are you suggesting to be able to cure a flu by stabbing yourself with a knife?

                  You prefer calling a truth you don’t like useless? Because it’s the truth that hamas will not be able to achieve its goals (kill all jews and destroy Israel) using what they have and receive as aid, even if they build tons of missiles they usually build. This is not how you “fight for freedom” because the freedom will never be the result of it. They need to change a lot in order to even try better. For example build defenses along with missiles for a change etc.
