    That would be exactly my choice. One terrorist is not worth blowing up children over. Wait for a better opportunity that doesn’t definitely have collateral damage. A terrorist does not “win” if he lives a bit longer. Nobody is “winning” anything in Gaza anyways right now.

    Besides, blowing up children is a win for the terrorists.

      What I hear from your comment is “let’s let them kill more Israeli kids”.

            I mean if the person you’re talking to only believes in two options then you are correct and they are wrong. End of discussion. But there is always a 3rd option for those not talking: receive with empathy.

            The thought of people killing Israeli kids makes us upset, to the point where we might consider killing other kids if it means rooting out evil. It seems like you’re not so much saying the option is between Israelites and Palestinians, but it’s to kill or be killed?

              It is exactly that. Your third option seems too abstract to me. Would you mind clarifying what it means practically?

                The third option is what I just demonstrated. Instead of me imposing my own feelings on the matter (pro-cease fire) I received what you were saying as an expression of a need and I try to understand it. Being able to understand this as “kill or be killed” gets more to the point, but I’m no Jesus so this is about as far as I can go… For now.
