Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

What is going on now will only create more extremists than they eliminate. Nothing short of killing everyone in Gaza is going to make this a better outcome for the long term safety of Israel.

We've been trying to bomb terrorism out of existence for decades, it never works. Israel is repeating the mistakes we made in the years following 2001. Mistakes that led to the existence of ISIS.

Ill bow out because i don't want to pollute the thread with my naive takes.
I don't think you're naive at all. Maybe idealistic, which isn't a bad thing. I for one appreciate your takes. We should all at least give consideration to whether our own views are reasonable, realistic or right.

I have room to change my mind when convinced of something.
