Seeing the number of flagged comments, and going from past discussions where any discussion seen as pushback was flagged, this discussion really doesn't belong on hacker news.

The war could stop at any minute, if only Netanyahu stops it.

Why would Netanyahu stop the war? It is the only pressure on Hamas.

The way war usually works, is the side that feels it has something to loose, sues for peace by making concessions. However the international backing of Hamas has ensured them that they have nothing to loose, and everything to gain, by attacking the Jewish state.

it's not a war Netanyahu is killing innocent people and taking a full population hostage.

Also, most of the people in Gaza are not Hamas members and are regular civilians. What Natanyahu is doing is basically analog to the following:

A killer take a member of your family as a hostage (Hamas in this case is the killer) so you decide to kill a member of their family every hour until they release your beloved one. Do you think that this is acceptable or are you trying to make it acceptable?

Do you know why you have so many videos of buildings being destroyed in the Gaza strip? Because Israel warns away civilians before destroying them. Doesn't sound to me like Israel is trying to kill civilians.
