    I don’t know, maybe literally anything that doesn’t involve murdering thousands of civilians? Use your imagination. The question itself is insulting. The people calling out Israel’s atrocities have no obligation to come up with policy suggestions that are acceptable to the people committing atrocities.

      Urban warfare is never pretty. If Hamas cared about Palestine they’d release the remaining hostages and surrender unconditionally. But they don’t. Their leaders are safe in Qatar, and their zealots care only about murdering Jews, not about the people caught in the crossfire of the inevitable Israeli counterstrikes. If they cared about their people they wouldn’t use them as human shields.

      And yes, if you say that Israel shouldn’t attack if there’s a risk of civilian casualties you need to offer up an alternative that gets Hamas to stop attacking Israeli civilians.
