A common theme I have observed in discussions about Gaza is that when someone points out that bombing civilians is not an acceptable way to combat terrorists, they are asked to provide another **solution**.
This is a clear case of solutionism. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict generally and Gaza in particular are **wicked problems** par excellence.
So looking for a "solution" is counterproductive to begin with. There is no "solution", there are only incremental steps to make things less bad.
