I often wonder why people have such high expectations from anyone during a fight to the death.

In all other times, one aide would have completely erased the other side. Yet, here we are, the Palestinians have yet to surrender.

None of the Arab countries that fooled the Palestinians into believing that they will one day be liberated want them.

In no modern times did one side complete erase the other side. Hell, even 2000 years ago many regular romans were disgusted by the brutality of roman soldiers against Carthage.

Israeli violence is unprecedented in several objective metrics: in pounds of bumbs dropped, percentage of civilians death, percentage of civilian household destroyed (on par with Dresden now).

Odd, all the sources I’ve read have the lowest civilian to combatant death ratio of any modern conflict.

It’s genuinely hard to get non-Hamas numbers, if you do take the Hamas numbers, they constantly shift wildly in both directions.
