I think at some point you have to ask yourself "if killing 10s of thousands of innocent people is necessary to achieve my goal... does that make me the 'baddie'?"

"If you want to destroy bigotry, you have to kill the bigots." How does that sound, Alan?
- Sounds better than what he said, you're not advocating for killing bystanders.
- Better?
- I came here to up-vote this comment. Thank you for posting it.
- They're literally no better than Hamas at this point. Hamas's who deal is, "fuck it. We'll kill the innocent with the guilty, let Allah sort it out."
  
  Please give me: statistics on the bystanders killed by hamas vs. statistics on the bystanders killed by the Israeli occupation forces
  EDIT: Misread comment, but hamas still clearly values human life more than Israel
  
  It's amazing that, even after realising that Zionists are dishonest fascists, you still unthinkingly accept their characterisation of Hamas.

Killing civilians is the best way to ensure that Hamas will have a steady supply of volunteers
- If you're going to die anyways...

He has to defend Israel because he was on Blackmail Island and now they have controversial video material of him.

So what exactly is the difference between this and terrorism? (Nothing)
Wikipedia: Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.
- In particular, fear, or "terror". You can use violence without anyone knowing, and you can create fear without violence. The fear is the key factor.
  
  That refines the definition but does not show a difference. There are reports of starving gazans too scared to show up to food distribution.

Lol. IDF headquarters is in downtown Tel Aviv. Every accusation is projection. We really need to stop listening to this sex pest.
- Sex pest or CHILD RAPIST?
  
  he can be more than one thing, hes versatile

Isn't the attempt at that exactly how you get more hamas?
- He'd probably respond, "Not if you kill them all." Which of course has its own defined word that he'd deny.
  Next step is when they publicly say that they're doing genocide, but only on "those" people. (let me guess, someone already did that maybe)
  
  Has anyone suggested tattoos and gas chambers or we not going with full irony quite yet?
  
  Ya no way some other group from somewhere else will pop up
- Insurgencency operation math: 10 insurgents before - 2 killed insurgents = now you have 20 insurgents
- Which is exactly the point. They need Hamas just like George Dubya needed "terrorists" so they keep manufacturing them.

Palestine has the right to defend itself.
- Israel doesn't

Is that your final solution, Al?
- "Can I phone a fascist?"

Trump and the Israelis wont stop the war. Why would they? Trumps "peace" is a farce and a delaying tactic.

... wherein he wrote "als Partisanen auszurotten" ("exterminate them as partisans").

@RandAlThor
There is a special seat in hell for Alan 'Diddy' Dershowitz, if hell exists

He's correct, but that doesn't justify it. Just the opposite.
- "If you want to destroy Israel you have to kill the civilians"
  Is exactly the same logic.
  
  That would destroy Israel, but that doesn't make it the right thing to do
  
  What are you trying to say here?

That's the only viable strategy - if there was some number of Palestinian civilians that Hamas could operate among with impunity, it would do. I don't think Israel is currently fulfilling its obligation to protect civilians as much as is practically possible while still fighting a war effectively, but civilian casualties would be high even if it was simply due to the nature of urban warfare against an enemy operating among civilians who have nowhere to evacuate.
- "They're all Hamas. Even the babies." Guy, it's not about Hamas, it's about exterminating the indigenous semitic Palestinians.
- The fuck are you talking about.
  Israel is actively aiming for and shooting unarmed civilians standing in line to get food for their starving families.
  Fuck Israel fuck the IDF, and anyone who supports them
  
  I agree that the notion that Hamas can be defeated by denying it food, and furthermore that doing so justifies starving the civilian population, is indeed something I consider well outside the boundary of civilized warfare. The fact that Israel is doing that makes it hard to believe that it is seriously attempting to minimize civilian casualties in other ways. With that said, my point is that Dershowitz is still in principle correct.
- Could you please point in a map of Gaza to the areas you would consider it "acceptable" for Gazans to fight in.
- Strategy? Genocidal much?
