Question: Is Israel motivated by revenge or by deterrence? Perhaps incorrectly, I nevertheless assume a near universality of anti-violence and empathy for the victims of violence and their friends and families. Those who are not anti-war appear from my perspective to be in a small minority. Terrorists may be a reasonable label for groups and ideologies that are among this minority. What is controversial and complicated is trying to answer these questions: what actions are most likely to prevent violence and war? Or restore a durable peace in the aftermath of attack? And specifically in this case, how do you minimize civilian death when the attackers use their own civilians as human shields?
Prompts me to share this, in case it might be of some intetest - a joint group of palestinian and israeli bereaved families who lost a family member in the conflict https://www.theparentscircle.org/en/homepage-en/ they seem to be dealing on a daily basis with what you brought up here.
PS To be clear, they're a tiny miniscule minority in terms of numbers. And I know that at least in israel they are intensely hated and frequently attacked.
Where'd you get the amazing images??
