(12,606 posts)I'm curious to find out if you believe that bombing a captive population will make them surrender or move them closer to Hamas.
My bet is on the latter not the former.

"The excessive use of force creates legitimacy problems, and force without legitimacy leads to defiance, not submission."

(12,606 posts)I suspect members in my family tree supported the IRA, but I cannot be certain, and they aren't talking since they are no longer alive.
Although I am a dual citizen I would not be able to support the murder of those in Antrim, or elsewhere, by the IRA or anybody else during he troubles.
I can understand the metrics behind a covert revolt, but I couldn't be a willful part of it.

Occupation.
Colonization.
Blockade.
Apartheid.

The Israelis? No. The victims have become the victimizers.
