So Israel should stop right now, right?

Israel should be working in good faith to conclude a ceasefire agreement.

Remember when Trump said he knew more about war than his generals?  That’s what you sound like in this thread.

I don't think there are more than two posters in here who agree with you.  You are simply misguided on this topic.

A bunch of guys who work in finance, or IT, or engineering don’t agree with me?  You don’t say….

But Eagles Rocker, who teaches high school history does….  Very interesting.

Your bleached bung hole is likely more impressive

I think that Israel has more than nullified their capacity to do so right now. If you think the only solution to that is by wiping out the entire Palestinian population, then that really is no solution at all.

Well considering the Gaza Strip has an annual population growth rate of 2% per year, with a current population of 2.1 million.   And estimates so far, even going by the inflated Hamas numbers stand at around 35,000 deaths in 7 months.  If this rate of death were to continue perpetually, then the entire population of Gaza would be wiped out in about 90-100 years.   Israel must really suck at this whole genocide thing.

The genocide of Native Americans in NA continued for like 300 years so I guess the British / U.S. weren’t great at it either by your standards.

Well, this is doing a pretty poor job of it. There is zero chance of eliminating Hamas with this kind of approach. When you wreak large-scale destruction on an entire population and its ability to subsist while providing no hope for a better life in the future, it will only radicalize more of them while undermining your alliances.

Please tell me the proper approach to eliminating a military organization in an urban setting that entrenches itself within civilian infrastructure.

LOLOLOL last I checked 300 years ago there were no planes, helicopters, tanks and cars to quickly transport military personnel from one location to another. Last I checked 300 years ago there were no bombs, missiles, drones, automatic weapons etc that could inflict massive damage in a short period.   Last I checked native Americans didn’t live in an area that comprised 141 square miles. 

And last I checked, the Native American population declined steeply from 1500 to 1800.   Meanwhile, the population in the Gaza Strip has done nothing but grow, from about 120,000 people in 1950 to 2.1 million people today and has one of the highest growth rates in the world. 
You are correct, there is certainly a segment of people in this discussion who don’t understand what the term genocide means.

Also, I’d like you explain how this war has been disproportionate using the descriptions in the link you provided.

You seem to think a genocide has to happen in a certain amount of time.  It doesn’t.

I certainly do not think that.  If I did, then I would think that native Americans weren’t the victims of genocide.

You seem to think a genocide can happen while simultaneously the victims of said genocide have one of the highest population growth rates in the world.  That leaves two potential possibilities: 1) the perpetrators of said genocide, despite their vast military and technological advantage must really suck at being genociders, or 2) there actually isn’t anything closely resembling a genocide happening.
