I am sick of the slaughter in Gaza

47. You're right . . .

. . . Proportionality is important. A careful tally should have been made of all Hamas killed on October 7, and Israel should have stopped when exactly that number of Gazans had lost their lives. The tally should also have included rapes, dismemberment, beheadings, torture, nails being driven into the genitals of Israeli women, babies burned in ovens in front of their parents, fetuses ripped out of their mother's womb, kidnappings, burning in cars, RPG's in rooms full of civilians begging for their lives, etc., and in the spirit of proportionality, all of those should have been done to Gazans. It's only fair, after all, isn't it?

The comment you made, really, is based on the utterly ridiculous and downright stupid idea being promulgated to that useful idiot's lap-up like starving dogs that Israel is doing what it is doing for revenge.

Revenge has nothing to do with it. They need to make `100% certain that Gaza, er, Hamas, can never again have the chance to repeat Oct 7. So yeah, it sucks. Badly. But the terror tunnels need to be destroyed, weapons have to be destroyed, and Hamas has to be destroyed. Sadly, innocents die in urban warfare. But all of them are dying because of and with the direct force of Hamas.

I could go on, but any further comments I make might get me evicted from DU, which I don't want. But again, despicable.
