Experts say the besieged strip is unrecognisable and its bombing is the most destructive in modern history.

Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza for nearly three months has destroyed 70 percent of the homes in the besieged Palestinian enclave, according to the Government Media Office.

No further details were provided but an earlier report said more than 200 heritage and archaeological sites were destroyed in the Israeli bombardment considered the most destructive in modern history.

About 300,000 out of 439,000 homes have been destroyed in Israeli attacks, a Wall Street Journal report said. Analysing satellite imagery, the report added that the 29,000 bombs dropped on the strip have targeted residential areas, Byzantine churches, hospitals and shopping malls and all civilian infrastructure has been damaged to an extent that they cannot be repaired.

“The word ‘Gaza’ is going to go down in history along with Dresden [Germany] and other famous cities that have been bombed,” Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago who has written about the history of aerial bombing, told WSJ.

    So you’ve lost your mind. Simulation failed. Good thing you aren’t in charge of anything important. Most competent people would just pick: destroy the group responsible for the attack at all costs.

      Nope, I simply answered nonsense with nonsense. You don’t get to create some nonsensical Kobayashi Maru scenario with vague definitions and ambiguous starting parameters.

      Let’s get real. You want to know what I would do in response to the initial terrorist attack that Israel faced? It wouldn’t be genocide against Gaza. My response would be rooted in the truth that you cannot rule without consent of the governed. The entire reality that Israel was trying to live was a sham that was never going to be a stable solution.

          What are you talking about? When I say consent of the governed, I am referring to living Palestinians.

      Oh and one more thing.

      Most competent people would just pick: destroy the group responsible for the attack at all costs.

      Yeah, and how’s that been working out for peace in the middle East? Doesn’t feel like the whole region is enjoying the decisions of the “competent” people. For decades. Maybe the problem is itchy trigger fingers like yours. Justice and Vengeance are rarely the same thing.
