Because this was probably a military target.

A lot of militant groups use civilians as human shields to either completly prevent a strike or a least create bad publicity to spin their propaganda.

There were a lot of Israelis taken into Gaza by force, my guess is they are kept in the most important places to create a moral dilemma.

You either attack and kill your own civilians or let the enemy have undisturbed action.

He definitely has at least the means of applying pressure.

Completely freeze military cooperation and weapon deliveries and withdraw the Carriers they send would be possible after talks failed.

But that is not something that makes sense when you want to keep your military base in the middle east functional and regarding the vast amounts of religious people in the US it would put off parts of potential voters next year.

I think the whole aspiration of a ceasefire is just political talk so the US can say they tried their best, in the end they will support Israel in their more than questionable response to Hamas despicable provocation.

There is a limit. Israel is unhinged in their response.

There should never be unconditional support for anything, good for him to have realized this. May germany follow!

Wasn't the last info that Taurus won't be delivered?

We probably have like 100 in working condition.

Really surprised by the 3 additional gepards, do we know if ammunition deliveries are in line with the systems operated?

Maybe you are interested in a little game.

Kanye... or Hitler?

The hostages are probably one of the things keeping some areas in Gaza secure. Was a effective move to gather as many as you can, not only as bargaining chips but strategically.

Hamaz will use them as human shields in important positions, Isreal gives little fucks about dead Palestinians, thing changes when it's your own civilians you bomb.

They should not give them back if they want to be able to operate a little further and prepare for a possible ground assault by Israel.

That's what their soldiers are more effective in, no sense in getting bombed without aa.

No, that was the work of really depraved men. It's not excusable, and I wish them the worst death has to offer.

My comment went more into a tactical, not a moral direction.

It is, but I wouldn't count on our potential to wage an effective modern war in functional cooperation with the many countries in the EU. Especially when it is a war taking place out of Europe and not a defensive action.

A militaristic endeavor would surely be held up and manipulated by opposing countries within the alliance, just like it is now with economic decisions.
