That's my point, although not as cleanly stated. To me this whole thing is Hamas kicking hornets nest then running away and hiding while civilians get stung. And this repeats every few years. And no point has anyone sat down and thought: wait maybe this is a bad idea.

    Yeah, they are terrorists. They don't care about civilians. Big surprise.

    The concerning thing is that Israel and US don't seem to care about them either.

    The thing with terrorism is the moment you show weakness they will keep exploiting that and repeating what works.

    You don't fight terrorism with bombs though. You fight it by humanizing their victims, using police raids by high level units capable of reducing collateral damage, and fulfilling the needs of the population that feels oppressed enough to create terrorists.

    True, but how you show strength to counter that matters, especially to the civilians caught in the middle.
