Prob the main principle of the war was to stop a dangerous government that was anti-freedom from taking over large areas of a continent from other countries.
Is that what hamas is doing? No. Would they like to? Sure but they dont have anywhere near the capability to do so and wont for any foreseeable future.
Stopping the supplies and equipment going to the enemy to deny them from taking over said countries and expanding.
Does hamas have a logistics section that is anything like the axis powers and is equipping them to take over countries?
No.
The use of mass aerial bombing because munitions were not accurate.
Is this true now? No. Everything is more accurate now including artillery.
What else,
Oh,
The use of massive Naval forces including the emergence of the Aircraft carrier as a force to be reckoned with and large naval battles.
Whats the size of hamas navy?
We can include submarines also.
hamas subs? Not even close.
Massive destruction of military bases on both sides.
Not happening on either side.
Attacking shipping lines.
Not happening. The Houthis are but we are talking Israel-hamas conflict, even if you want to include it the tonnage sank is what? 0?
What else?
Extremely large tank battles,
Not happening.
Lots of countries fighting each other with immense battles.
Not happening.
I can keep going.
Lastly I will answer your question that you asked to someone else.
Should we have cut the war short when we knew what was going to happen?
We didn't know what was going to happen. We didn't know that it would lead to the largest amount of casualties ever seen
We didn't know that we would drop atomic bombs on Japan.
We didn't know if we would win or not.
We didn't know if the world would be controlled by independent countries as it is now or would become a hegemony controlled by the axis powers as that was what at stake.
That last sentence is the main principle of WW2. That is why WW2 is totally different than the Israel-hamas conflict. We didnt know if the world would be controlled by independent countries as it is now or would become a hegemony controlled by the axis powers.
So, they are in no way the same and to suggest so seems to lack knowledge of what happened in WW2.

I will try to pay more attention sarisataka Oct 28 #26

In that case, you would think Israel's actions would be guided by their relationships to the terrorist groups iemanja Oct 28 #28
