"If you want to destroy bigotry, you have to kill the bigots." How does that sound, Alan?

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.
Lol. IDF headquarters is in downtown Tel Aviv. Every accusation is projection. We really need to stop listening to this sex pest.
Killing civilians is the best way to ensure that Hamas will have a steady supply of volunteers
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)
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.
Is that your final solution, Al?
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'?"
He has to defend Israel because he was on Blackmail Island and now they have controversial video material of him.
Trump and the Israelis wont stop the war. Why would they? Trumps "peace" is a farce and a delaying tactic.
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'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.
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.
"They're all Hamas. Even the babies." Guy, it's not about Hamas, it's about exterminating the indigenous semitic Palestinians.
Could you please point in a map of Gaza to the areas you would consider it "acceptable" for Gazans to fight in.
