    Funny way to spell war crimes.

    And how exactly is he supposed to “make up” for all the dead civilians? Killing a bunch of Palestinians won’t bring anyone back.

      Hamas is holding kidnapped civilians as prisoners. Getting them back would be a large part of making up for defensive failures.

        He is talking about crushing Hamas, not getting prisoners back.

          Crushing Hamas, the people kidnapping civilians en-mass, is…bad? Is…not something that should be done?
