It’s not a matter of “deserve” — it is the reality that Hamas, with 85% support among Palestinians, intentionally created. Tunnels and hideouts placed beneath hospitals, schools, residential buildings so as to cause maximum casualties and infrastructure damage when attacked. Israel warns civilians to leave in advance, and Hamas shoots at them if they do. Israel is fighting an enemy who claims “we love death more than you love life” and who’s mission is to rape, torture, and kill Jews. How would you neutralize such a threat?
