    @ JonathanInTelAviv

    You made good rebuttals to the "fenced-in" quote.

    But you lost all credibility with this gem:

    Don't you know? Israeli defence of any type is by definition genocide.

    Defense against despicable deaths of civilians is to ... kill 10 to 100 times as many civilians?

    How'd that work out in historically?

    Also, your first post about fenced-in cities under siege. Good historical precedents, however you ought to consider the current Gaza situation's similarities to another famous historical event that you may have heard of: The Warsaw Ghetto.

    Cheers
