Interesting flight path on this Israeli military plane
There are a few Israeli military planes up, they all look like this
The few commercial flights leaving Tel Aviv look normal

I don’t know how to interpret this as a war. Is there a way to target those responsible for the terrorist attack? Is turning Gaza into glass a close enough approximation?

Isn't calling it a war something you do to establish new rules, not necessarily actions?

I am sure parallels to Dresden and Hiroshima exist.

It’s a war, a war between Hamas and Israel in which Hamas fired the first shot in aggression. Israel is defending itself.
Not sure if you’ll find many parallels, Hamas is not a sovereign state and nor is there a recognised Palestinian state. In that sense it’s sort of like a civil war (which it is not) and sort of like, what Putin has called, a special military operation, but a purely defensive and justifiable SMO and one with a clearly defined objective - the annihilation of Hamas as a criminal and para military terrorist organisation. But on second thought it’s not an SMO either.
So for now let’s settle with; it’s a war. Much more to the point.

The very act of destroying Hamas creates Hamas. I’d call it a Hydra, but it’s much more insidious than that.

LD, you can’t reason with fanatics, they must be annihilated. A major part of the hydra is made up of fanatics, Islamic fanatics at that.

On Bari Weiss’s podcast she interviewed a mom whose 12 and 16 year olds were abducted.
It’s hard to listen to.

I’m sure it is. Think I’ll skip that one.

I don’t disagree. I just think that direction will have to go much farther than what I believe most westerners will ever accept.

They can sleep on the rocks and drink seawater.
Renauda is right.

China still utilizes slave labor. Russia has committed countless war crimes in the invasion of Ukraine, and assassination is still a preferred political strategy. The military in the Ivory Coast still regularly torture and rape their own citizens. Senegal is a little better, but not much. And do I even need to talk about the UK?
