Probably because if USA were to provide Ginsu Knives to Israel they would be like 'look another radical arab islamist doing some dumb shit, GET TO THE CHOPPER lol'Wondering why these sword missiles aren't options where applicable
How the Hellfire missiles took out al-Qaeda leader al-Zawahiri with minimal collateral damage
How the Hellfire missiles used to kill al-Qaeda leader al-Zawahiri work.
all day erryday and there would be backlash for them.
I don't want to explain all of world history, but the idea of the nation state is not that old and previously peaked in terms of ultranationalism with the Nazi idea of "one people, one nation, one leader". Before Israel and Palestine, there was not one independent nation state in the region but the older formation of multi-ethnic empires, namely the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire. In other times there were other ideas like kingdoms which are not much more than regional powers, run by warlords, who were often of different ethnicity and language to their subjects.
Its currently trendy and hip to preach "decolonization" which is really just "pay us reparations you white people". You see it a lot now In the US with lengthy apologies (sometimes just an acknowledgement) of the land having once belonged to some 'native' tribe or another, never mind that those folks were just the LAST group there before westward expansion, unlikely the ONLY group to have undisputed control of some patch of plains or forest for 15,000 years or whatever. So it's like apologizing to the guy who owned your house before you bought it in a foreclosure, but ignoring the other 4 previous owners, the company that actually built it, the farmers family who tilled the land before it was a subdivision, and the 10 sequential tribes that claimed dominance over that stretch of scrubland before it was plowed under. Performance Guilt Displays, even if well meaning.

Maybe don't put your hq/barracks in a hospital should be the only response
I think at this point it doesn't matter. Even if Israel has 100% proof they didn't bomb the hospital in most peoples eyes now "THEY DID IT, THOSE EVIL BASTARDS" the damage is done. The blame gets lumped at Israels door no matter what. The media reporting is so one sided against Israel it is fucking comical. They are going to be painted as the bad guy no matter what.
Lol no. Hamas leaders reside in other countries and the local warlords will have enough food or water. They will just blame everything on Israel, encouraging more suicide bombers and more bodies to throw at IDF.
Ginsu Knives are like the 'humanitarian' response, and it really is, to the fucking UN and all the cries of crying heart saint complex idiots around the world about 'collateral victims' when using Hellfires against islamist dumbos, because with them there always was his wife, his second wife, his third wife, his cousin, the two wives of his cousin, the uncle, the drummer boy
, grandma, grandpa and the goats, his sister-in-law, his plumber and attorney, Gandalf, Sauron, Gollum and all of them kids and nasty hobbitses.

Hamas has had several leaders killed in strikes in Gaza. There are undoubtedly several levels of leadership, like any military pattern organization. It's the military arm of Hamas that needs dismantling, then the political arm can be handled in courts. I'm sure there are quite a few "foot soldiers" who are starting to rething this jihad thing when they are starving, thirsty, haven't seen their families, and instead of a wave of israelis presenting themselves to be shot down its death by artillery or rocket. Clearly historical sieges like Stalingrad show that fighters can endure INCREDIBLE hardship for prolonged periods of time, just how deep does the commitment go? How many will try to slip away, hoping to rejoin a refugee camp somewhere? How many will be killed by their own police? How many will stay in buildings that are leveled? And maybe, just maybe, a bunch get offed by Palestinians fed up with being used as pawns or the grunts turn on their leadership and try to negotiate on their own.
IF THAT WAS ISREAL. Then it is huge war crime and you can blame only IDF.
I don’t think the IDF is in the business of intentionally slaughtering civilians.
Mistakes happen, including in the army, even more so under pressure. A mistake still won't justify this massacre.
IDF will prove it's not them. It has to.
Whats your point?
Even if it's proven it was IDF, it wasnt deliberate so it's ok....
Of course mistakes happen. I said intentionally. Unfortunately, bullets and bombs don’t care about intentions. Also, unfortunately, terrorists necessitate the need for firing bullets and bombs because they’re fucking animals.
