I've read that half the population of Gaza is under age 17.
That's kind of what Rumsfeld spoke of when he was pondering the impact of our intervention in Afghanistan - i.e. sowing seeds of the next generation's combatants/martyrs for the cause.
Appeasement leads to the exact same outcome and some other crap besides.

I wonder what percentage of Americans would favor a genocidal solution. And, of those, I wonder what percentage go to church on Sundays.
The OT is part of the Bible. Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to break it. While we do live in an Age of Grace, that doesn't mean that the God of the OT is not the God of the NT. There is more than one instance in the OT where God has allowed the Jews to kill their enemies, even unto the beasts of the field.
Might want to spend a little time reading the Bible.

OT God also found it necessary to see the Kingdom of Israel broken and scattered with many taken into slavery on more than one occasion. So I’m going to cast my eyes to the NT, for direction.

Because they did not obey His Will.
What did God tell the Israelites to do to the Canaanites?
Or given a more pertinent illustration to the current invasion of Israel...Just after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, they were attacked by the Amalekites.
Exodus 17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Later on, Moses tell the Israelites to wipe them out.
God is Merciful. God is Love. God can also deliver terrible Judgement, if so warranted.

So is this one of the times that they are to follow God’s command by smiting and destroying their enemies? Or is this one of the times they are supposed to be broken and scattered for not following God’s command? Or are they supposed to turn the other cheek? I’m confused.

I'm not. Who has turned their eyes from God? Who has done wicked deeds? Who has attacked the Chosen?
There is no religious or moral discussion about what is essentially right or what is wrong. This is a just war on Israel's part. The discussion takes place on how severe the response should be.
There are times when even Jesus said to go buy a sword.

The IDF says they have a body count of approximately 1500 dead terrorists within the borders of Israel.

Here's a hint: Don't make war with the people that supply your power.

Egypt could always supply them, you know… Gaza is not bordered on all sides by Israel…
