When over 80% of a territory is reduced to rubble, every single person is forcibly displaced, and half of those killed are children, the word "war" no longer fits the scale or intent of the violence. Call it what it is: a genocide — the systematic destruction of a people.

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths are children. STOP CALLING IT A WAR, IT'S GENOCIDE

Deuteronomy 20 also speaks of mercy and justice—but applying ancient scripture to modern geopolitics is complex. One nation under God sounds ideal, but how do you unite two peoples with such deep trauma, fear, and distrust? Peace needs more than verses—it needs action, trust, and real solutions.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social) reply parent
If Hamas attacked your country, murdered civilians, and was funded by a hostile state— Would you just take it? Or demand justice? Or maybe launch a nuclear bomb in return? Terrorists aren’t scapegoats. They’re real. Condemn genocide, yes. But don’t deny reality.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social) reply parent
Totally agree—two wrongs don’t make a right. A two-state solution is the only real path to peace. Rejecting Hamas doesn’t mean rejecting Palestinian statehood. Both peoples deserve safety, dignity, and a future.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social) reply parent
It doesn’t—and it shouldn’t happen. But ask this too: How does Hamas hiding among civilians help Palestinians? Both can be true: Hamas is a threat, and civilians must be protected.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social) reply parent
If killing kids isn’t “too much,” it absolutely is. But that’s why we asked: What’s the alternative to stop Hamas without harming civilians? Real peace needs real answers not just anger.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social) reply parent
But you’re justifying the slaughter of civilians as “retaliation.” That’s not resistance. That’s mass murder. And if you excuse that, you're not fighting for justice—you’re defending more bloodshed. We can condemn both genocide and terrorism. Human rights aren’t one-sided.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social) reply parent
I never said Palestinians don’t have the right to live. In fact, I’m saying the opposite: no innocent person—Israeli or Palestinian—should be killed.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, Israel’s response deserves scrutiny. Civilian deaths are tragic and unacceptable. But asking “what should Israel do instead?” is a genuine question—not propaganda. Because if we don’t talk solutions, we’re just shouting past each other while innocent people keep dying on both sides.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social) reply parent
We get that emotions are high, and the suffering in Gaza is real and devastating. But dismissing Hamas as “not a threat” ignores facts. On October 7, they killed over 1,200 people in Israel and took hostages—including children and elderly civilians. That wasn’t a “scapegoat,” it was mass murder.
The Statecraft Sentinel (@thescsentinel.bsky.social)
What should Israel do instead? 🧵 Hamas wants Israel destroyed. Some countries back that goal. Israel is under real threat. But many say Israel’s response is “too much.” Okay—then what’s the alternative? If you think Israel is wrong, tell us: What should it do right now? Comment your views.👇
