> At the time of this writing, the latest child-victims were 6-year-old Ameera Al-Masri, who was killed along with her three siblings – Faryal, 11, Salma, 9, and Naim, 13 – and parents Firas and Salsabeel, when their home in Gaza City was bombed on Tuesday. Twenty-four hours later, the Israel Defense Force's spokesperson had yet to provide an update concerning the target of the attack. And last Saturday the army killed five members of the Nassman family: parents Adham, 42 (whom the IDF claims was affiliated with Hamas' military wing and was involved in the October 7 massacre), his wife Marwa, 40, Arwa, 8, Ibrahim, 16, and Yahya, 18. Ayham, 13, is the sole surviving member of the family.

> On July 14, 10-year-old Moataz Abu Shaar, whose father and brother were killed earlier this year, was shot to death inside a tent in Muwasi by army forces. The day before, 9-year-old Tala Abu Matar was killed.

If you fucking killed my children, I would act in self destructive ways to punish the IDF or settler terrorists that did it.

The actions of Israel's horrid government is going to create decades of extremists.

In 1967, Israelis predicted that abusing and oppressing millions of people would lead to disaster. The strange thing is that Palestinians are still willing to humor the embarrassing shit Israel puts forward as offers. I cannot even imagine how I would feel as a Palestinian for all the children Israel has murdered.

The IDF targets and destroys any village or area that has militants present. This means that if a village has an attack come from it or it is believed that a village has militants hiding within it, the IDF will destroy the village. The IDF also strikes civilian infrastructure to cause pain in response to attacks.

Do you agree with this IDF military doctrine of destroying villages or cities when a militant is suspected to be there?

If you do agree with this IDF military doctrine, would you believe that it should be used on settlements in the West Bank? Should Iran order major settlements with suspected settler militants evacuated and destroy the settlements?

What do people believe is the best path forward for Iran at this time? Just to be clear...if you were in control of Iran, what do you believe is the best path forward right now?

I do not know whether Iran has wanted a nuclear weapon or not. They have definitely kept the possibility open and used the enrichment of uranium to try to force negotiations on sanctions. The situation is very dire from their point of view.

Let's go through some of the recent history:

They negotiated the JCPOA and followed it, until the US left and reimposed sanctions.

They negotiated with Biden, who ordered the release of $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets during the negotiation, then Biden cancelled that.

They tried to negotiate with Trump, who attacked them during negotiation. They tried again to negotiate with Trump, and once again were attacked during negotiation. After being attacked, they responded and were denounced by the international community for the response with no comment on the attack on Iran. They negotiate the MOU with Trump, Trump never follows it, continues to act in ways to weaken Iran's position against the MOU, and American officials bragged about signing the MOU just to allow the US to rearm and decrease oil supply issues.

What is the best path forward?

I believe that the US acting in bad faith continually and never sticking to their agreements will force Iran to develop nuclear weapons just to get some peace.

The US needs to begin negotiating in good faith, if they do not want Iran to get nuclear weapons. Now.

Israeli arrested in the US for being a sexual predator and the US releases them to go back to Israel. American snatched by Israel on vague reasoning is held for weeks with no charges.

WTF. No. The amount of contempt that Israel's government has for the US is insane.
