Do you have another name for to targeting civilians and wipe 2 cities by nuclear strike? Expand Yes. It is called survival. After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and killed 3,000 sailors and their families, Truman said that the US would accept nothing less than an unconditional surrender. Japan refused. The US nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan surrendered immediately. They have been basically demilitarized for 80 years. End of story. Israel is in a more precarious situation. The surprise attack that took place against Israel was not from a land 5 thousand miles away. Gaza is 5 feet away. Netanyahu will accept nothing less than Truman did. Either the unconditional surrender of the enemy and permanent demilitarization or Gaza will be wiped away. It's up to Hamas to decide. Quote
