I know but the issue of "Shield" doesn't make sense for me. This is for a reason, which is that they want to keep the hostages alive for political or financial gain. They could have just killed them if they don't need the hostages.

This is true.
Now you have the issue Hamas “tells” their civilians to ignore warnings. Do nothing to evacuate them. And do nothing to shelter them. Wired Hamas has mikes of tunnels under residential areas, but never offers them for shelters for civilians

It is being alleged that many Hamas hostages died from indiscriminate IDF fire early on, which suggests the Hannibal Doctrine got replaced by one that includes civilian hostages.
They don't even pretend not to be fascists anymore, it's straight up blood and honor now.

I understand that eventually they might put militia near homes which puts civilian lives in danger. I'm also sure that Israelis did bomb too many buildings and even UN schools where none of Hamas militants exist including 27 ambulances.
I know it is a war, but I believe that "both" sides, it does not matter how evil they are, should be more cautious and value human life. Which is not likely to happen, but it should happen.

This is not necessary now. What is necessary is to remove Netanyahu before he burns the plant. You don't realize what it means for US/Russia to bring nuclear weapons to the battle ground. Just imagine how many cities around world will be destroyed in WWIII with nuclear weapons. The crazy world is heading for a WWIII and people are still debating Hamas vs Israel worthless battle.

Judging by the amount of TNT unloaded on Gaza they've dropped one little boy by the end of October already, about 18 kilotons.
How is the additional radiation going to help? And why are people in here the Chicken Littles, not the moron minister who lost his job over his disclosure of a nuclear option?

You will never get a two state solution. Bottom line is Hamas would never agree to it. The Israelis gave them complete control over gaza and the palistinian authority took over control of the west Bank. As you can see the PA didn't attack it was Hamas gaza has always been the more radical elements in the region. This is why Egypt spent a decade removing them from the Saini peninsula. There is a reason Egypt destroyed smuggling tunnels into Egypt.
No one wants to take over Gaza the population is to radical. Until they change there will be no peace. Realize this is the population that drug a dead woman in the back of a pickup just so gazans could spit on her dead body.
Hamas has the support of the of the population of Gaza they are ok with them attacking Israel and killing women and children. In my opinion that means Gaza brought this on themselves even now they could be pressuring Hamas to stop notice they are not doing that.
