It is KNOWN that there are active terrorist cells within every major city in the UK... so unless you want to start carpet-bombing Glasgow and Liverpool with Napalm then you really need to rethink the "how can they stop until all are wiped out?" thinking.

Of course, everyone understands that it would be utter madness to blow up a UK housing estate based on intelligence that a couple of the houses contain terrorists. It's only considered to be justified because it's "there" not "here" - it's that simple.

Widescale violence against civilian populations increases terrorist activity. It always has, it always will, it HELPS them recruit, western destruction in the middle east was what created ISIS. In order for it to have any other effect, the destruction needs to be total. 100%. There's a name for that. It's genocide.

We dont see any bombing from Ireland and the IRA now..we didnt bomb them to smithereens, did we!

Should israel stop and allow hamas to regroup? Or should they blitz what's left of their battalions, so they can safely weed out what's left.
