This is not a conventional or easy war. They fire rockets into Israel from the roof of hospitals, mosques and hospitals.
For much less than what Hamas did the US wiped two Japanese cities off the map.
Yes, & the allies bombed countless German civilians in Dresden & Hamburg in WW2, but since then the Geneva Convention has introduced new wartime rules.
Just suppose there were some snipers on the roof of a hospital in the UK, picking off pedestrians walking by.
Should they be dealt with on a one-to-one basis, or should the whole building be blown up along with the innocent occupants ?
Sometimes a solution can be too drastic, even if it achieves the desired outcome.
