    Interesting, what term would you use to describe what has been happening in Palestine and specifically since the last 21 months?

      specifically since the last 21 months

      This war was triggered by a horrific and unprecedented attack on Israeli civilians on October 7th. A very destructive war in a dense urban setting against an extremely deeply entrenched fanatic enemy hiding among civilians.

      There have also been war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity.

      If you compare the physical destruction of buildings with the number of killed Palestinians, it becomes pretty obvious that killing the people is not a priority war goal.

      There is pretty horrific rhetoric during war times, which has enabled war crimes.

      Any other government would have surrendered long ago. Hamas refuses to do so, despite the immense military superiority of the IDF, regardless of the destruction and loss of life it costs.
