Any Suggestions?

 

Look, I think a lot of criticisms of Israel invading Gaza are well-taken.

Yes, I agree, ordinary Gaza residents did not take part in the attacks and should not be subject to collective punishment.  And this will be, at best a long, hard slog of brutal urban warfare against an entrenched enemy.  And there is no coherent exit strategy.  And there is a very real risk of all this spreading into a wider war.

But at the same time, shrugging and saying oh well, we deserved this and continuing business as usual is NOT and option.

So I would ask for any criticism of Israel's actions to be combined with some sort of realistic alternative.
