Any estimate of how many of those were Hamas?

There haven’t been any settlers in Gaza since 2005, what are you talking about? You mean the West Bank?

There’s literally a response just below yours, but of course taking the time to make sure you’re actually right is never a strong point for you people.

I personally find it very funny that the pro-Palestinian go-to is that none of the offers Israel made for a 2 state solution were ‘realistic’ or ‘serious’ or ‘good faith’. No one doubts that there were offers. Tell me, in what other scenario in all of human history do the losers of a war (that they started) get to dictate the terms of their surrender?

What’s the ethnic makeup of Israel? What’s the ethnic makeup of Palestine? Which one is closer to the definition of an ethno state? Do words not mean anything to you?

You would roll up to a music festival and murder civilians?

This may be tough to understand but there’s a ton of still completely-intact, dense urban environment in between the border and the school in your scenario. So on your way to the school, you can be ambushed.

Or hey, maybe thinking strategically even a little bit, maybe the school, or the road, or any of the surroundings are booby-trapped! Maybe they’ve planted IEDs or mines on the path there!

It’s very far fetched, I know. Humans haven’t been waging war for forever, there isn’t a giant history to pull from.

“The terrorists are using schools as shields though!”

“Oh damn that’s a genius strategy. Better just give up every military advantage I have and send in my soldiers to be ambushed.”

I don’t know if you noticed but it’s been more than 24 hours since they said that and they’re still letting them evacuate. Time to retire that talking point.

Correct, you don’t, because those are garbage disciplines based on nothing whereas economics is decidedly not. Economics is the study of constrained choice, using rigorous math to model these scenarios and applied statistics to test the models. Any 1st or 2nd year course you take in economics isn’t revealing truisms about the world - they are introducing concepts and highly simplified, abstracted models so that when you get into upper year courses and you start using extremely heavy math to make more realistic models that are serious attempts to explain actual human behavior, you’re not completely lost.

You take at face-value that certain subsets of economists argue in favor of bank bailouts but against student loan relief is proof that they’re evil, or garbage, or bought and paid for, without even understanding the arguments. The bank bailouts were loans which the banks paid back - would you be fine with the government giving out more loans to pay off existing student loans?

This is so far from being the truth. Please get an economics degree and see if you still think that.

I don’t know if I like this place. Everything is so conspiratorial.

There are food banks, don’t steal.

It is likely negotiated into their contracts when they sign.

Don’t riot - the destruction of property has a very serious cost that the rioting society itself will have to bear once all is said and done (whether we get the change we want or not) and it means that efforts and money will have to be put into simply rebuilding rather than progressing. Do mass strikes instead; it hurts them much more, the public is much more likely to be on our side, and the pressure to give in in order to restart the economy will be much greater.

IDF says they’re targeting a command centre for the Jenin Brigade, “a place where armed terrorists would gather before and after terrorist activities,” the IDF said, adding that the camp was a “site for weapons and explosives” and “hub for coordination and communication among the terrorists,” in an effort to break the “safe haven” mentality of the area for terrorists.

They say they told the Palestinian Authoroty and Jordan they were going to do this in advance.

They say “Some 50 shooting attacks against Israelis have emanated from Jenin.”

My best guess as to why it doesn’t lead to immediate sanctions and isolation is because some governments think the above is true.
