It's really quite simple. You've set up a phony dichotomy wherein one either supports the killing of all innocent civilians used as "shields" by Hamas, or one is somehow morally obliged to argue that Israel has no right to exist or defend itself.
It's a bullshit dichotomy.
You're arguing an "either/or" situation when in fact there are many other alternatives.
That’s not what is implied. You’ve somehow managed to create a straw man false dichotomy that you can tear down. Impressive. Their is another alternative where neither the hostage or their taker is killed. Which is what is being negotiated now. Israel could have done that from the beginning, instead of bombing civilian children.
