The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dresden was technically fire bombed, as was Tokyo. The casualties were unimaginably high, and it is debated to this day whether there was any strategic or tactical value in that operation. I agree that Israel needs to do something to recover its citizens, but I can't disagree more with the current plan. The fruit born from this approach is likely to opposite to the intended goal. Remember that Hezbollah did not form until after Israel occupied Lebanon.

Additionally, the death count of innocents is unacceptably and immorally high. I also can't see how starving the population of food, water, medication, and electricity furthers the effort to recover hostages. It is all unspeakably cruel and suggests an ongoing callous disregard for the wellbeing and indeed, humanity of Palestinians.
