The Dahiya doctrine, or Dahya doctrine,[1] is a military strategy involving the destruction of civilian infrastructure in order to pressure hostile regimes.[2] It is a type of asymmetric warfare. It endorses the employment of "disproportionate force" (compared to the amount of force used by the enemy[3][4]) to secure that end.[5] The doctrine was outlined by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot.

Yeah, that sort of thing happens when we see one of the most effective genociders in history, trying to finish the job.
Amazing what identifying a commonly-shared problem does for people.
Maybe rape and slaughter another 10,000 Jewish men, women, children and see what that gets you. Throw in a couple more 9/11s for bonus points.
Ahh, so you ARE a crusader! I thought so. I picture Brave Sir Robin in my head... #34 | Posted by pumpkinhead
Lol! You know that Arab nations don't like Palestinians, right? Must be because they're "crusaders."
"Despite public support for Palestinian rights, in truth nearly every Arab state has long viewed the Palestinians with "fear and loathing," Crocker says. This is especially true of Egypt, which will continue to refuse to admit Palestinians from across the border, he says." www.politico.com"
But you expect Israel to turn the other cheek and welcome with open arms a group that will continue trying to murder them. People who even other Arabs want nothing to do with.
Good luck with that.
This right here is the issue and why people are pissed. Jeff is just not smart enough to understand it.

You go ahead and negotiate with terrorists after they come rape and slaughter 1,200 of your civilian men, women, and children. And then don't act surprised when they turn it into a yearly holiday.
Hamas has sworn to destroy Israel, as it has those who came before, and 70% of Palestinians are A-OK with that:
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." Hamas Charter, 1988
This ideas that Palestinians are willing to live-and-let-live are just Western pipe dreams fed by a profound and willful ignorance of the genocidal intentions of the Palestinians.
Fortunately, the Israelis are well aware of the stakes.
Perhaps there is a better way for BOTH people. #78 | Posted by truthhurts
Sure there is.
Israel has its own country where they welcome people of varying faiths, with even a large minority (20%) of Muslim citizens.
Meanwhile, the Palestinians live in their own separate land under the Islamic theocracy they so very much desire and have repeatedly attempted to force upon Arab nations that gave them refuge (Egypt and Jordan).
So that way everyone is happy! But they're not, because the Palestinians want Israel destroyed and it really sticks in their craw that there are still Jews drawing breath. ("24% of Palestinians support a two-state solution, down from 59% in 2012" news.gallup.com)
So here's a way that it's better for one people. Israel grinds Hamas into the soil and keeps on doing so for the rest of eternity.
And if the Palestinians want things to improve for themselves, they suck it up, face the fact that they have lost and will continue losing forever, and learn to tolerate the neighboring existence of Jews. Or they go elsewhere and learn to stop offending nations that take it upon themselves to offer them kindness and a new home.
Because 10 million Jews with nuclear weapons are going nowhere. And they will never let Muslims become a majority of their democracy only to turn it into an Islamic theocracy to finish the Nazi genocide.
[...] Who knows, maybe someday Gazans will show the same level of embarrassment to their historical association with Hamas and Germany does with its association to the National Socialism. #94 | Posted by madbomber
Maybe, but probably not so long as the rest of the world keeps humoring them and calling them "refugees," two, three, four generations down the line. Nowhere else does this happen. The rest of us have to move on with our lives when our nations are defeated. And Israel has trounced the Palestinians repeatedly (5 times?).
A summary: "This perpetual refugee status also allows some Palestinian-Arabs to hold onto an impossible notion of "returning" to Haifa or Jerusalem when it's not remotely feasible. The return of millions to an already well-populated area is not physically or economically possible. In short, UNRWA's categorizations keep Palestinian-Arabs stateless and in a cycle of perpetual poverty, being fed false hopes for outcomes that never will reach fruition."
