How can you justify the bombings of UN hospitals in Gaza?

Israel have an incredible amount of fire power and defence systems, while HAMAS have relatively weak fire power and resources, even the majority of the rockets fired into Israel are close to useless. Do you not think the Israeli response has been way over the top?

If you compare each sides death count, it's clearly one sided. Israel should be able to deal with HAMAS without bombing hospitals and schools, killing civilians and innocent children.

No problem, take your time and thank you in advance! I'm hoping my flexibility will help lower the cost!

Hi!

I noticed that most of your flight tips are from America. I'm looking for some advice flying from Europe (Spain, England or Portugal) to Brazil (ideally) but will go anywhere in Latin/South America. The cheapest I've found is 450€~ to Brazil. Do you have any suggestions or tips on finding anything cheaper?

I'm looking for one way flights around October/November time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help and previous tips! You've helped a lot of my friends!

That's amazing! Thank you! Would you recommend booking straight away or can I wait a month or so without the prices increasing too much?

Also, are there any companies you'd suggest avoiding booking with? I'm a little wary of scam websites with cheap flights after speaking to a few friends.

Thanks again!

Thank you for answering.

I feel even if a few HAMAS soldiers fire from a hospital, as wrong as that is, because THEY are putting civilians at risk, responding by bombing a hospital is an out of proportion response.

From seeing your responses to other questions, you seem like a very level headed, educated and peaceful person. I respect that, but am I right in saying the type of person you are in the Israeli army, is in the minority?

The problem is that it is a densely populated place but I feel that if Hamas had built underground bunkers, 1) They wont be as protective and safe as yours ans 2) I still think Israel would try to bomb them and justify it by saying HAMAS soldiers are inside.

You mentioned the average soldier in Israel is not an 'incredible' soldier and this is why conscription is a bad thing. You want people to join the army because they want to fight for their country and that they understand the risks, placing an average citizen in the army with little to average training is a recipe for disaster, all it takes is one scared soldier to fire one bullet to cause international outrage and escalate the conflict further.

A good example of this is with the Crimea incident with Pro-Russian rebels, a few guys firing shots came very close to making the situation 10x worse (but that is a completely different topic, i'm not comparing the conflict, just the type of soldier that isn't prepared, trained and educated enough to be in any sort of conflict like that).
